In the Frame – Lynn Jenkin

Dungog by Design presents a collection of works by artist Lynn Jenkin for June 2026.

Their power, her passion …

Lynn has been drawn (excuse the pun) to horses for as long as she can remember. Hanging out for the sound of a milk delivery, pestering her parents for a pony for each birthday and Christmas, till she was finally an adult, with her own paycheque, and she could buy her first one. It is no surprise that one of her greatest joys as a photographer is to capture the power and beauty of a horse in motion, or the quiet strength of a portrait.

When she decided to extend her creative range by taking up drawing and painting it was a natural conclusion her favourite subject continues to be horses. She is, however, exploring what that means for her. Photography captures incredible precise detail, but she often likes to go into post editing to draw out a little more of the emotion and a more painterly effect. As she develops her sketching skills, she does not want the end result just to be a faithful copy of the original photograph, she wants to tease out what that passion means for her.
She is at the beginning of that journey.
