Lindsay was born and raised in Burnstown, Ontario, a historic rural Canadian hamlet west of Ottawa, where there was one general store, one post office in the postmaster’s house, one beach on the Madawaska River, and many career artists with studios and galleries. Although she spent most of her time outside swimming, biking, and climbing trees, she learned a little painting from her mother, and a little carpentry from her father.

Lindsay graduated from SUNY Old Westbury with a degree in biology, worked as mate and educator aboard 70 foot Schooner Pheonix, as part of CELP (Coastal Ecology Learning Program), and then interned with the town of Babylon, NY Environmental department, where she monitored the endangered piping plover and mapped stormwater drainage as part of a program to reinstate wetlands.

After moving up and down the east coast, Lindsay followed her love of the southwest to Durango, Colorado, where she completed a BA in accounting and where she’s been living since 2017.

Lindsay spends her time mountain biking, paddling, river surfing, wind surfing, hiking, skate skiing with her toy poodle mix (who usually ends up in her backpack), performing stand-up comedy, and making various forms of art. Her art includes sculpting relief sculptures and framing them into furniture, which she builds in her workshop, and making large-scale human body prints on copper and steel.

Lindsay is inspired by nostalgic themes evoking romance, joy, adventure. She enjoys playing with the juxtaposition of hard and soft, such as flowing fabric cast in hard concrete or metals. Her neutral color palettes using wood, metals, and colors inspired by nature are soothing to the eye and allow for the light and shadow to be an integral part of the viewers experience. The functional pieces of furniture allow the art to be enjoyed as a part of everyday life.

In her furniture, Lindsay has created a unique process that allows her art to be framed into various pieces of wooden furniture. Relief sculptures are created with a reusable oil-based clay, and a silicon mold is poured. The piece can be recreated in colored or metal-impregnated resin or pigmented concrete as the project requires. Occasionally, post-casting work such as paint or LED lights are added to accentuate the art. The piece is then incorporated into functional furniture such as headboards, kitchen islands, cabinets, or desks, built by Lindsay in her workshop.

In her metal work, steel and copper are often used together, colors developed with heat, and body safe salts and acids used on her models to create ethereal, whimsical, and abstract humanoid shapes. She has also recently begun to incorporate embossing the metals with tools and enhancing her body prints with other organic materials such as charcoal (carbon) and chalk (calcium), to explore a deeper connection to the art through materials our own bodies contain.
