Lindy has been making things for as long as she can remember—sand candles, alien doodles, piñatas, stuffed dolls—you name it. After graduating from Washington State University, she split her time between working as a graphic artist by day and painting by night, showing her art in co-op galleries.
At 35, she set off on a solo three-month backpacking trip through Europe that sparked her wanderlust. Tossing three city names in a hat, she pulled “New York” and soon found herself painting, freelancing, and showing work in Manhattan. The city energy shaped her signature style.
In 1999, she moved west to Portland, later settling in Bend, Oregon, where her woodland and bird series blossomed. Her art caught the eye of Deschutes Brewery, who featured her work on their 2007 Jubelale label, and later sweetriot chocolate bars and the cover of Arts & Health journal.
After a chapter in Arizona—where she showed work at Van Gogh’s Ear and married fellow artist Greg Gaskill—Lindy returned to the Pacific Northwest. These days, when she’s not in the studio painting, she’s out hiking and adventuring with Greg and their two dogs, Nikki and Riley.
