Laura Lynn Eggleston grew up in Saskatoon and got her B.Ed. from the 
                                               Universities of Saskatchewan and Regina. She was a high school art
                                               and English  teacher in and around Regina from 1975 to 1981, until  she
                                               ran away from home to  become an artist and entertainer in Toronto. 

                                              After a year at York University, Laura Lynn drew portraits at Canada’s
                                              Wonderland, and caricatures at Ontario Place, at restaurants, nightclubs,
                                              and in and around Toronto for thirteen years.
                                             
                                              She met and drew many celebrities; some who were performing at the Royal  
                                              York Hotel, for the walls of Shopsy’s Restaurant: Eartha Kitt, Phyllis Diller,  
                                              Jose Feliciano, Chuck Mangioni, Petula Clark, The Supremes, The Mamas and 
                                              the Papas, B.B. King, Gordon Pinsent, and Wayne and Shuster, to name a few.
. 
                                              She has drawn caricatures in curling rinks, on golf courses, at the top of the  
                                              C.N. Tower, in a turret of the Chateau Laurier, and while eating lobster and
                                              drinking  hampagne on a cruise.
 
Laura Lynn began clowning in 1991, as she had done community theatre in Regina, Saskatoon, and Toronto, and was interested in evolving in that area. Her pink-haired alter-ego is Bunky the clown,
 face-painter, balloon-maker, and story-teller with puppets and a bit of magic.

Laura Lynn has exhibited paintings in group and solo shows in Toronto and Ottawa. She teaches children’s art classes through the Ottawa Carlton District School Board.
