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 a mate and educator aboard 70 foot Schooner Pheonix, as part of CELP (Coastal Ecology Learning Program), and then interned with the 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’s been living since 2017.

In addition to being a full time college student (again) in the business program at Fort Lewis College and taking care of her three children, Lindsay spends her time mountain biking, skate skiing with her toy poodle mix (who usually ends up in her backpack), and sculpting relief sculptures and framing them into furniture, which she builds in her workshop.

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.

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.
