Concrete Canvas 2022: 10 local artists created designs on a row of bollards for Concrete Canvas 2022.Lynn was paired with City of Chelmsford Mencap for Community Engagement along with The London Police. Both artists that worked with Mencap have included lots of the references that the Mencap students mentioned. Especially the park and the river.

Whilst Lynn was painting, the businesses along Moulsham street were very supportive, especially ROK Kitchen who made sure Lynn was fed and watered.
