Lynn Demers has lived and created sculptures for 20 years on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, a rural artistic community off the west coast of Canada. A native to BC, Lynn grew up in the North Okanagan region in the interior of the province, where she was surrounded by forests, wildlife, farms, fields, rivers, and creeks. She spent her childhood exploring these natural spaces and enjoyed making things out of whatever material was available. Read more...

In 2005 Lynn had the great honour of presenting the Dalai Lama with a gift of one of her sculptures.

A self-taught sculptor, Lynn has also worked in a bronze foundry, as a jewelery designer and finisher, as a cabinetmaker's helper, as a landscaper.

Lynn has exhibited her work at the Field Mouse Wildlife Gallery, the Orcas Gallery, the Pegasus Gallery of Canadian Art, and the J. Mitchell Gallery, all on Salt Spring Island, as well as at the Quest Gallery and the Marshall Gallery in Victoria, BC. She has participated in many group shows on Salt Spring Island as well as in two international juried shows.

In 1988, Lynn's Still Moon Perch was one of 100 pieces selected of 750 entries to be in the international juried "Birds of Art" show presented by Wasau, Wisconsin's Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. It was on of only 10 sculptures selected to tour with 50 other pieces to the Missouri Botanical Garden in Minneapolis, Missouri, the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon.

In 1991, Lynn's bronze sculpture Barn Owl was one of 80 pieces selected out of 600 entries to be part of the international show "Images of Vanishing Nature" held at the Transco Gallery in Houston, Texas. This show traveled to the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville, Virginia, the Massachusetts College of Art Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, the Bell Museum of Natural History in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Ontario, where Lynn's sculpture remains.

Lynn's work is in private collections across Canada, the United States, and Europe.
