Lydie Paton

Lydia Paton is an Adelaide born architect, designer and artist.

Her landscape designs have featured on the ABC's Gardening Australia tv series and her residential gardens have won several LASA (Landscape Association of South Australia) awards for excellence in design. She has lectured in landscape design and architecture at the University of Adelaide.

In 2013, she stepped back from landscape architecture, and returned to university to study fine arts . The exposure to varied mediums has lead to more experimentation with materials and art making techniques. Since her teenage years she has worked with oils on large canvases but the exposure to new materials at art school has brought a diversity to her art making techniques.

In 2015, Lydia spent two years in Toronto studying printmaking and etching under the tutelage of Brian Hoxha. Since then she has been producing aluminium plate etchings. Colour is also added to some of these prints through techniques using watercolour washes and chine-collé. She has brought a large number of works back to Australia and is now profiling them on Saatchi.
