Originally from the Gulf Coast of Florida, Lindsey graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Art History and Museum Studies. In 2009, she made the move to Portland, Oregon, where she has spent the last thirteen years as a freelance graphic designer. Since relocating to Oregon’s north coast in 2017, she has dedicated herself to her personal art practice, drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes around us here on the North Coast.

Outside of her artistic endeavors, Lindsey enjoys teaching art workshops, engaging in home improvement projects, and spending quality time with her family—her husband Vincent, three children, and their two beloved pets. Whether she’s playing board games or exploring the great outdoors, Lindsey embodies a spirit of creativity and community.
