Welcome, I’m Lynette Reed: artist, pattern designer, and brand consultant with a passion for creating work that’s anything but ordinary.

For over 30 years, I’ve helped shape some of the biggest names in home fragrance and lifestyle, leading the development of products that connect deeply and sell powerfully. Today, I channel that same energy and expertise into my own work: bold, colorful paintings, unapologetic surface patterns, and a home collection designed to bring life and style into everyday spaces.

Colorful. Fashionable. Fearless.
Whether it's a brushstroke, a textile print, or a brand concept, my work is about more than beauty, it's about creating with guts, intention, and soul.

If you’re ready for work that makes a statement in your home or in your brand you’re in the right place.

PAINTING WORRKSHOPS IN ITALY

“Lynette offers such a unique experience at her art workshop. Set in the beautiful Bassano del Grappa my guests and I thoroughly enjoyed Lynette taking us through the process of her artwork flowing on to our own. All novices we had so much fun and learnt a little about ourselves through the process. My guests and myself absolutely loved it.”

- Annies Italian Retreats

"Lynette and Phil took such great care of our group on our retreat. It was the experience of a lifetime and the perfect blend of experiencing Italy, Italian culture, and the creative inspiration that lives all around Bassano. Not only is Lynette a very talented artist. She is also a wonderful teacher. Being in community with other artists, feeding off of each other's creativity, and learning from Lynette's techniques was an incredible opportunity that I will forever be grateful for."

I offer private one on one abstract painting workshops in Italy, tailored to what you want to explore—whether it's techniques, composition, color, creative process, or simply giving yourself permission to experiment. These sessions are available for a single day or over multiple days, depending on your schedule and interests.

All levels are welcome, from complete beginners to experienced artists looking to reconnect with their work or try something new.

Private small group workshops are also available and can be designed around your group’s shared goals. Alongside time in the studio, you can choose to include unique local experiences through Live Like a Local Italy—from walking with alpacas through vineyards in the countryside, to private boat rides through the canals of Venice, wine tasting in the Prosecco hills of Valdobbiadene, grape crushing during the harvest, or slow lunches at agriturismos with stunning views.

A few times a year, I host small group weekend art retreats that focus on abstract painting, creative process, and connection.
If you’d like to be the first to know about upcoming dates, let me know here.
