Lyn Godley is a multi-media artist. Her designs, done as a partner of Godley-Schwan (1984-1998) and individually as Lyn Godley Design Studio (1999-Present), have been exhibited internationally and are in numerous international museums and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art NYC. Since 2000, her studio work has focused on merging light and art, exploring the relationship between art and technology and its impact on the viewer. Her studio practice is linked to her research on how integrating dynamic light in artwork can create a deeper engagement by affecting both the environment and, ultimately, the user. Her work includes paintings of various scales and immersive art – merging painting and new media for intentional viewer experience in public settings.

The imagery in her paintings centers on the duality we encounter in life. This can be seen in the contrast between horizontal bands of different markings and colors and between the imagery and the projected animation on the painting's surface. Her artwork represents a dialogue between distinct and sometimes conflicting zones, mirroring the balance we all strive for. The animated imagery projected onto the paintings creates a rhythm that harmonizes the different zones.

In addition to her studio practice, Godley is a Professor of Industrial Design at Thomas Jefferson University, where she has developed cross-disciplinary curricula in Lighting Design with a focus on Light and New Media as Experience. She is also the Director of the Jefferson Center of Immersive Arts for Health, an initiative to investigate the impact of dynamic light and interactive art on health. She has spoken at National and International conferences on Light and Health, Arts and Health, and Lighting Design Education.
