Artist's Statement
The regenerative promise of nature plays a hopeful counterpoint to the examination of loss and decay in my work. I collect old papers and discarded objects, looking for stories and histories that intersect with mine; a celebration of marks and stains and signs of ageing. Soft ground etchings, relief prints, ink and water colour drawings, scatter themselves amongst these salvaged materials and often find their way into concertina artists books.
My prints and drawings have been included in multiple exhibitions across Australia including the Rick Amor Print Prize, The Silkcut Award and The Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize; they also form part of numerous national and international collections. I work from my studios in Melbourne and on Phillip Island, Victoria.

About the Artist
Lindy currently spends much of her time drawing on Phillip Island. Positioned on a small stool and pursued by the incoming tide, Lindy creates large panoramic fine line drawings of the coast across multiple panels. Working en plein air, Lindy sits with her back to the ocean and records the shoreline until the drawing measures 120cm in width. See The Drawing Collection for this ever evolving body of work.
Lindy is also enjoys printmaking, reading, singing, swimming, acting and her little brood of grandchildren.
Visitors to Cowes, Phillip Island will also find her work at TYDE Boutique where her mural of an ancient moonah tree is painted on the exterior of the store and her drawing of Cape Woolamai dunes is hung as a curtain. Lindy's limited edition Giclee prints can also be purchased at TYDE and at Town and Country Gallery in Tarralgon.
