Celebrating our Northwood Community Halifax Campus proud to showcase Lynn Eyland Artwork

Lynn Eyland is a Northwood resident known for her beautiful cartoon artwork. Lynn attended art college in Edmonton in 1970, before moving home to Nova Scotia in 1980. She worked for The Citizen Newspaper where she drew over 100 editorial cartoons and won the Atlantic Newspaper Association’s award for “Best Local Cartoon” in 1981. From there she moved to the Halifax Daily News and Frank Magazine.

Lynn was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when she was 17, and her symptoms become debilitating in her late 20’s and eventually she was unable to draw or walk. She received two operations years later which gave her use of her hands again without tremors. She learned how to balance while walking so she could walk with a walker.

Today, Lynn is a resident at Northwood and still drawing cartoons for the LiveMore paper. We are proud to have showcased her artwork at Northwood for all to see!
