She has exhibited widely, including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and was previously an artist-in-residence at the de Young Museum, The Neon Museum, Las Vegas, and the Internet Archive. Born on a military base in Arizona, Lynn attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, received a BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University and MFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is currently the Chair of Interdisciplinary Visual Art at the University of Washington.
