Lindsey describes her craft below:

"I am working currently in oil and tempera painting and drawing, capturing moments in passing that bring me joy on my hectic commutes and moments in between. My current work focuses on my fascination with bridges, construction, machines, tools craftsmen, signage, and its relation to nature, joy, love, and pain. Using my photography as a library to pull from for my work recent paintings have focused on cranes from the Brooklyn Navy Yard (that I have a crush on) which is where I currently have a studio. I am also focusing on a few pieces pulling from wildflower bouquets I’ve made and photographed at our house in the mountains of Schoharie County. My daughters, nature, my background in rural PA steel country, my career in print pattern design all combine in my work seeking happiness, respite, and a sign in the craft."
