Lynnemaree was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to study Youth Work and Community Development in India and has an extensive background in both education and community development in New Zealand and overseas. This has included stints in Papua New Guinea and rural Cambodia with advisory roles in national curriculum development teams, Expressive Arts teaching at Teachers Colleges, projects and publications for the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, and an assortment of community projects.
Lynnemaree has curated exhibitions on art and sustainability, presented at conferences in New Zealand and the United States. She has worked within multidisciplinary contexts through a collaborative process often engaging her students in public projects.
She is an avid tree planter, tramper, and a highly enthusiastic but not a very good surfer.
Her current arts practice investigates the primal experience of intimacy with the surrounding world and discovers the potential for creative action that emerges from that connection.
