In 2006 Lynn travelled to South East Asia where she visited Laos, Tibet, China and Mongolia and then Japan. This experience fuels the inspiration for her new work, which looks at tribal identity through clothing and embellishment and also ancient Chinese communication and rituals. Enjoying the interaction with local people, but finding that it was difficult with no mutual language, Lynn decided to use pencil and paper as a form of communication. She drew portraits of local people, giving them the drawing as a gift in return for their company.

As well as developing her own creative work, Lynn has worked with art in the community and education over the years. This has involved conducting workshops in her specialised area, lectures on her own personal work to third level students and teaching general art, craft and design subjects on the following; back to education initiative scheme, VTOS, leaving certificate, third level courses, The Tower programme for young offenders, and hobbyist classes.
