Wynne grew up in Montreal in the 1960's in a house full of fine art and colorful tapestries. She went on to study graphic design in Montreal and eventually ended up in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico a baroque and neoclassical city that attracts artists and writers from around the world to study fine arts. Soon thereafter, Wynne traveled across the globe to Sharm El Shiek in Egypt to spend months scuba diving in the red sea. It was here that her love of saturated colors and dynamic patterns was formed. “I was in awe and inspired by the fish patterns and color combinations of the Picasso like trigger fish. Picasso was my mother's favorite painter and undoubtedly a big influence in my formative years. I like to believe I paint fantasy and reality by creating a narrative that challenges the rational order of things. I often use my dreams as a source of unleashing my creativity. We are all energy and I try to capture that magic in paint.”
Wynne's work can be found in galleries across Canada and is held in several private and corporate collections including Canadian House of Parliament”s Justice Building. She was honored to have NDP leader Jack Layton purchase his portrait for his office on Parliament Hill. Her work is also in the lobby of the Ontario Federation of Labour.
