When Lindy was a child, she always loved looking under her parents bed where piles of prints and original art were stored, waiting to be framed and put on the walls of their eclectically decorated home. Sifting through the abstract and expressionist art, Lindy was in awe of such wonderful pattern and color. Lindy’s parents were art collectors with a passion for sharing their love of fine art with their three children. There were paintings covering the living room walls and decorating the turquoise painted dining room. Lindy and her siblings were taken to art museums and galleries on family vacations and one could browse big art books adorning the living room coffee table.
Lindy, the youngest, let her imagination be stirred with the images and colors of the great art masters. She loved to look at paintings by Kandinsky, Miro, Chagall, Dali, Klee and many others. It was this exposure to art, that moved her to want to create.
Lindy loved making things. “I would close myself in my bedroom, make something, then come out and with a sweep of the arm say, ‘see what I made.’ There was always something to be made, a big white castle with leftover styrofoam, a cardboard house made for frogs found in the yard, a raggedy anne doll sewn from scrap material, or a winter snowman. I drew people, animals, and castles and hung them on my bedroom door. I was always encouraged to create and now looking back, I am so grateful for that!” Born in Seattle, Washington in 1959, Lindy earned a Bachelors in Fine Art from Washington State University. It was during a conversation with a professor that helped shape the career path Lindy was to take. “My prof said I was going to have to decide whether to take a commercial approach to my art or stick with a fine art path. He scared me into thinking that the fine art approach would be a tough one. So I decided to specialize in Graphic Arts.” After college, Lindy worked for a weekly newspaper, various print shops, and advertising agencies as a computer production artist. However, her passion for creating art would not be deterred. At the same time, she was creating and showing her paintings at local galleries in Seattle.
