ARTIST STATEMENT

Lindsey creates work that celebrates and contributes to the protection of the wild places she loves to explore. She uses pattern to create paintings that balance between abstract and landscape to capture the awe of wild places. Painting 'en plein air' allows her to record these moments, patterns, and landscapes and bring them into the studio to create larger interpretations of the encounters. Working from drawings and sketches, rather than photographs, allows her a more direct transfer of impressions and ideas. In 2016 Lindsey set out to hike The Pacific Crest Trail. Over the course of a five month hiking artist residency, she created over 30 paintings, 40 handmade postcards, and 27 mile markers along the 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada. This adventure has evolved into a more extended studio based project which is reflected in her current body of work.
