Living and working overseas for over two decades brought Lynn into contact with a variety of cultures and landscapes.  After graduating with a BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute, New York, Lynn moved to Australia.  She was drawn to Australia’s vast inland desert, a place that challenges traditional conceptions of landscape, and was the subject of her first one-person exhibition, Horizons (1981), at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
     In 1983, Lynn moved to the United Kingdom.  While teaching photography at several art schools, Lynn published four books, Furniture Fictions (1989), 1:1 (1993), Corporation House (1996), and Interior Light (1997).  She participated in many solo and group exhibitions including Viewfindings: Women Photographers: Landscape and Environment (1994) and the ground-breaking Inside the Visible (1996).  While living in England, Lynn received an MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London.
     Lynn returned to the United States in 1999.  Since then, she received a Fulbright Scholarship in 2010 to teach and photograph in the Czech Republic.  She continued to participate in exhibitions including Outlook-Insight: Windows in the Arts, at the Museum Sinclair-Haus in Bad Homberg, Germany (2018) and Works in Black and White at the Klompching Gallery Brooklyn, New York (2019).
     Recently, Lynn’s series, In A Matter of Time (2020-present), depicting archival panoramic photographs were selected for inclusion in the 2024 FotoFest biennial exhibition 10 x 10 in Houston, Texas, and were the focus of a solo show at Goya Contemporary (2025).  In 2025, Lynn was awarded a New York Public Library Short-Term Research Fellowship to explore their collection of photographic panoramas. 
     Working with video is a new development in Lynn’s practice.  Memory Foam (2022), is a hybrid work that explores domestic interiors through light and sound.  In 2022, this video premiered at Goya Contemporary, Baltimore.
     Her latest video Between death and (2024), a collaboration with Catherine Borge, utilizes a variety of image-capturing technologies in its depiction of a funeral home. This video was selected for The Last Best Time and Space Video Art Exhibition (2024) at the Ryniker-Morrison Gallery, Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana, the New/Next Film Festival and Goucher College (Baltimore, 2025).
