Meet the Artist
Lindsey Fox
DRAWING/PAINTING
Lindsey Fox grew up in Northern Michigan, a place that nurtured her love of the natural world and the landscape made by it. She earned her BFA in Fine Art at The University of Michigan and in 2013 moved to Portland, Oregon where she continues a studio practice through her home studio, travels, and exhibitions. Her work centers around the art and act of pattern making.
She draws inspiration from nature and patterns she finds in the wild. Her hiking adventures among the mountains and valleys of the Pacific Northwest inspire her work and fill the pages of her sketchbooks. She creates work that celebrates and contributes to the protection of the wild places she loves to explore. She uses patterns to create paintings that balance between abstract and landscape to capture the awe she feels in the presence of these places. Recently Lindsey has been gravitating towards carrying sheets of paper on her adventures rather than sketchbooks, allowing the final pieces to originate in the place that inspired them. This plain air method allows for a more fresh and playful perspective to start the painting, and a more considered meditative process of finalizing once back in the studio.
