Lynn Savery was born in Brighton, England in 1960 and moved to Australia in 1975. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and a Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations. In 2017 she decided it was time to devote herself to a passion she had long neglected, painting, and made a self-portrait which she entered into the 2018 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize and won.
