Lynne Tobin is a mixed-media artist based in the Hudson Valley, New York. Working primarily on paper, she employs thread, string, and ink to explore the inherent language of drawing. In her large-scale and intimate works, Tobin investigates line, materiality, and spatial tension, creating compositions that hover between the tactile and the ephemeral.

​

For over a decade, Tobin’s abstract ink drawings have been featured in numerous group and juried exhibitions across New England and the East Coast. Her meticulous process — layering delicate threads over gestural ink marks — challenges traditional boundaries between drawing, textile arts, and installation. This interplay of media allows her to redefine how viewers engage with line, texture, and negative space.

​

Most recently, Tobin presented her Line Studies series in a solo exhibition in Venice, Italy, during the 60th Venice Biennale. This show drew critical attention for its innovative fusion of thread-drawn pathways and fluid ink gestures, underscoring her commitment to pushing the dialogue surrounding contemporary drawing practices. Tobin’s work has been acquired by private and public collections and cited in regional art publications. She continues to develop new bodies of work through residencies, collaborative projects, and contributing to the vibrant community of artists in the Hudson Valley and beyond.
