Lyn-Al Young (Gunnai, Wiradjuri, Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta)

Lyn-Al Young creates in the rhythm of her life song. She is the founding creative behind 'LYN-AL,' a name deeply rooted in the legacies of her grandmothers, with whom she shares not only her names and birthday but also a profound connection to her Gunnai, Waradjuri, Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Boon Wurrung cultures.

Her creations celebrate her culture as well as promote a sense of wellbeing through her thoughtful and spiritual creative process. Her aim in every piece is that she ultimately arrives at a place of peace and that all who encounter her work receive the good spirit in which she created it in. She views her creative process as an extension of her family’s legacy and her approach is to tune into the songs of her ancestors and to be a creator of Waluwin – healing, as well as Gulbalanha – a peacemaker and a fighter for truth.
