LYNETTE reed

Lynette Reed makes things. Paintings, patterns, art, life, laughter, community.

A woman with brown hair, wearing black glasses and a white t-shirt, sitting at a table with colorful fabric swatches. She has tattoos on her left arm and is smiling while looking to her left. On her right, there is a smartphone, and a laptop is partially visible on her left.

Lynette lives in Bassano del Grappa with her Irish husband, Phil, and a growing collection of things she absolutely did not need and will never get rid of.

RECOGNITION

Solo shows in Antwerp and Milan. Group shows in the UK, California and Chicago. Work selected for the London Art Biennale.

ABHIKA turned her paintings into wallpaper. It has a product code and a place in their catalog. Their booth at Maison et Objet Paris wore the floral in 2025 and her grape leaves in 2026, and their book lists her as a contributor alongside their own art director and photographer.

She founded Illume Candles in Los Angeles in 1994. Thirty years later they came back and asked her to paint the anniversary collection. Lynette Reed x ILLUME. Limited edition. The first of an Artist Founded, Artist Led series built on her work.

Other patterns are licensed to European brands. Earlier collaborations include TJX and HomeGoods. Femest Digital Women Magazine ran the whole arc in June 2026.

She grew up in California and now lives in Italy. The journey between those two facts have been the interesting part.

Every pattern begins as a painting. Every painting begins with something she noticed. A morning market in Marrakech, a doorway in Greece, the electricity of Paris during fashion week.

The work ends up on pieces that carry the stories with them.

She believes a home tells the story of the people who live there. In objects chosen on purpose. In using the beautiful things today, because today is the occasion.

Collected rather than coordinated. Personal rather than prescribed.
