Howitt is an artist much more in the tradition of Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting, judging from the sense of chromatic nuance, subtle gestures, and above all, lyricism that makes her compositions so exhilarating. There is an openness to them that creates an extraordinary resonance, as though the painter were tuned into some celestial symphony no one else can hear; perhaps emanating from that "inner world" of which she speaks.

Howitt is an emerging contemporary artist whose work has received critical acclaim in Australia for its richly emotive and graceful appeal. At the heart of each of Howitt's abstract creations is a deep appreciation of her environment.

Artist Lynda Howitt says that the sea can provide a way
to draw out and simplify emotion. Through her current exhibition
she provides a way to make that connection through her
paintings. She has captured the many moods and colours
of the sea in striking but simple work.

These paintings of feelings entwined with mystery represent
a true form of self expression of some of the innermost
feelings of one’s soul. Intimate artworks like these
reach out and touch the viewer, resonating with their own

and the result is 'Soul', a collection of stunning artworks
which connect on a deeper level and convey emotions. The

Australian Art Review
Howitt has the panache and confidence that we all either
secretly or openly desire to possess. She is passionate
about living life to the full and inspiring others to do
the same. Her paintings are inspiring, mysterious, sensual
and intimate. She draws on her love of life, the sea and
her soul for inspiration. Having her first exhibition in
2005, she has been recognised as an up and coming artist
from Australia. Her work adorns the walls of galleries
across Australia, Europe and the UK.
