Lynn Jackson explores themes of memory, identity, and belonging through her work in sculpture and installation.
Originally from Liverpool and still connected through family, I now work between Toronto and Niagara. My practice has long centered on sculpture, with recent expansions into field recordings, sound, and film. Alongside my studio work, I am deeply committed to community engagement, serving as Secretary for ANPHI Affordable Homes and ANPHI Non-Profit Housing—organizations dedicated to supporting artists—as well as sitting on the board of the RiverBrink Art Museum. I also run an art education studio, Children’s Art Studio, partnering with hospitals, public libraries, schools, and private events to make creative experiences more accessible and meaningful across the community.
My work in Toronto takes place on the traditional territories of the Wendat, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—lands that continue to be cared for by Indigenous communities today. In Niagara, I acknowledge the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, and honour their enduring relationship to this land.
