I have always had an interest in bones! Especially when they are of interesting creatures and even better if they are fossils. This work is expressive and textural, with bold movement of strokes and scoring back into the paint. These elements are in inspired by archaeological digs when the dirt is stripped away and the 'find' shows through!
The colours are vibrant and there are metallic elements throughout, using bronze on the bones and an iridescent medium in with certain colours. Because of the metallic elements this artwork is a nightmare to photograph so my apologies. It does however look amazing in real life!
The work is a triptych so the 3 sections are separate and can be hung in a line or staggered to add interest. Separate hanging "wires" on each work and each canvas is 30cm wide to equal the total of 90cm in the width measurement below.

to me
Lyndsey is an Australian (NZ born) contemporary artist creating colourful paintings, prints and sculptures inspired by nature from her Sydney studio.
Taking a very varied approach to her chosen subjects Lyndsey is somewhat of a chameleon, never staying within one genre or style. Lyndsey chooses her colour palettes with care, aiming to create tranquil, calm even meditative works or enhance with bright hues and bold strokes along with many other physical applications of paint, pen, pencil and more. Flitting from each discipline as inspiration hits, Lyndsey is a responsive artist.
Some career highlights have been works featured in the media from her many and varied Bald Archy portrait artworks. Another was being a finalist in the Hills Grammar Acquisitive Art Prize and being one of 3 artists to bring "Drawing on Memory" Holocaust survivor Harry Fransman's book (and art exhibition) to life.
Inspiration comes from the natural world in general. Animals, plants, landscapes then moving into humour, portrait and statement art. Intrigued by Ned Kelly and his life as much as about Don Quixote in the book by Cervantes. Occasional forays into satire with many Bald Archy artworks are another of her pet areas (roasting a politician or admiring Dr Chris Brown!). Texture, colour, material, subject are all part of the creative process.
A finalist in many art competitions such as The Hills Grammar Acquisitive Art Prize, Blacktown Art Prize, Hunters Hill Art Prize, The Bald Archy, Westmead Art Prize to name a few, and has won multiple awards in different disciplines. Her artworks are found in private and public institutions here in Australia and overseas. Lyndsey was honoured to be one of 3 artists involved in bringing "Drawing on Memory" to life for Holocaust Survivor Harry Fransman (featured on Channel 7's Weekend Sunrise).
Education has included a Diploma of Fine Art from The Sydney Gallery School, study at Julian Ashton School of Art, Waikato Polytech and many casual art workshops. Predominantly a self taught artist she is currently working from her own studio and enjoying creating larger sculptures at The Sydney Gallery School Open Studio sculpture sessions with Sam Valenz.
