Lindy has been making things for as long as she can remember—sand candles, alien doodles, piñatas, stuffed dolls—you name it. That spirit of curiosity, imagination, and play continues to shape her work today.
Inspired by nature, spirituality, and the interconnected energy of all living things, Lindy creates vibrant paintings filled with whimsical imagery, rich color, and dreamlike symbolism. Her work blends the playful with the sacred, inviting viewers into joyful worlds that spark wonder, warmth, and emotional connection. Created for the wild-hearted nature enthusiast, her paintings explore the idea that we are all deeply connected—to each other, to the natural world, and to something greater than ourselves.
After graduating from Washington State University, Lindy balanced life as a graphic artist by day and painter by night, exhibiting in co-op galleries while developing her unique visual language. At 35, a solo three-month backpacking trip through Europe awakened a deeper sense of adventure and creative expansion. Tossing three city names into a hat, she drew “New York” and soon found herself painting, freelancing, and exhibiting in Manhattan, where the energy and intensity of the city helped shape her signature style.
In 1999, she moved west to Portland before eventually settling in Bend, Oregon, where her woodland and bird series blossomed. Her work has appeared on Deschutes Brewery’s 2007 Jubelale label, sweetriot chocolate bars, and the cover of Arts & Health journal.
After a chapter in Arizona—where she exhibited at Van Gogh’s Ear and married fellow artist Greg Gaskill—Lindy returned to the Pacific Northwest. When she’s not in the studio painting, she’s usually hiking, exploring, or adventuring with Greg and their two dogs, Nikki and Riley.
