Netherby Farm Fagan Park part of Glenorie’s rich history. After visiting the park I had to paint this stunning old structure as it reminded me of old barns I used to see around my home town. It’s a bit of nostalgia and I hope it gives you a sense of age and the lifestyle of those who worked hard on the land. A little bit of its history- Fagan Park takes its name from the family who farmed this land for generations. The Fagan's purchased the property in the 1850s and worked it first as a citrus orchard before shifting to cattle grazing in later decades. In 1980, siblings Bruce and Ida Fagan donated the property to the people of New South Wales, and it eventually became the park we all enjoy today. Was opened to the public in November 1988.

Lyndsey is an Australian (NZ born) contemporary, eclectic artist creating unique paintings, prints and sculptures inspired by nature from her Sydney studio.

Taking a very varied approach to her chosen subjects Lyndsey is somewhat of a chameleon, never staying within one genre or style. Lyndsey chooses her colour palettes with care, aiming to create tranquil, calm even meditative works or enhance with bright hues and bold strokes along with many other physical applications of paint, pen, pencil and more. Flitting from each discipline as inspiration hits, Lyndsey is a responsive artist.

Some career highlights have been works featured in the media from her many and varied Bald Archy portrait artworks.

Also a finalist in many art competitions such as The Hills Grammar Acquisitive Art Prize, Blacktown Art Prize, Hunters Hill Art Prize, The Bald Archy, Westmead Art Prize to name a few, and has won multiple awards in different disciplines. Her artworks are found in private and public institutions here in Australia and overseas. Lyndsey was honoured to be one of 3 artists involved in bringing "Drawing on Memory" to life for Holocaust Survivor Harry Fransman (featured on Channel 7's Weekend Sunrise).

Education includes a Diploma of Fine Art from The Sydney Gallery School, study at Julian Ashton School of Art, Waikato Polytech and many casual art workshops after being predominantly a self taught artist.
