Lynne Cameron

Based on the Scottish island of Bute, I was previously professor of applied linguistics at the University of Leeds and the Open University. Years of research into the dynamics of metaphor and empathy in dialogue accompany me into the studio.

My work has been exhibited in galleries in Berlin, London, Leeds and Tighnabruaich, and was shortlisted for the National Open Art competition in 2015.

On leaving my university professorship to work as a professional artist, I was invited to take up a fellowship and artist residency at Cinepoetics, Freie Universität, Berlin, and was based there from October 2015 to September 2017.

I developed my painting through a multitude of short and part-time courses, including painting courses at York College and Leeds College of Art, Painting in Contemporary Practice at The Slade School of Fine Art, University of London, and Advanced Painting at Morley College, London.
