Lynnette Griffiths holds qualifications in graphic design, ceramics and education from the Queensland College of Art, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and Monash University. She has lived in indigenous communities for more than 20 years as a TAFE teacher, arts worker and is currently managing artistic development on Darnley Island (Erub). Lynnette plans programmes and conducts workshops with artists to develop their arts practice through research and material innovation.
She has spoken extensively at national and international education and art conferences on practical and creative ways to build literacy through the arts and has co-developed a framework and pedagogy catering to indigenous learning styles. She is currently interested in methods and practices to diversify art production and engage young people within current art centre models.
Lynnette strives to facilitate creative connections and learning which steps outside formal educational systems.
Lynnette’s artistic practice has developed from graphic image-making, towards manipulation of materials, construction and installation. Her present work uses imagery from the marine environment as metaphor for human exploitation and environmental degradation.
