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.

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.
