Biography
Lindsay Dew is a Canadian painter who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, majoring in Fine Arts. She was accepted and attended École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France during completing her degree. Lindsay’s artwork has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Her work has been selected for publications in both printed magazines and featured online. Recently, Lindsay has been selected to participated in artist residency programs in Canada.
Lindsay primarily works in acrylic and inks on canvas. Her landscapes are created spontaneously and later honed in, instead of using a reference photo with a specific location in mind. Her process is meditative to her, as she creates lines to form the mountain ranges she depicts. She is interested in capturing a feeling of a place in her landscapes rather than documenting a location. Therefore, her paintings are left open to the viewer’s own interpretation of location. This process has proven to be a fascinating approach for Lindsay as viewers have connected with her paintings, insisting that they are indeed a specific mountain rage and in turn, shared their personal experience and history of it.
Lindsay resides in Nelson, BC, Canada, a mountain town where she is inspired daily by playing in the mountains year round with her family and friends. When she is not in the studio, Lindsay is an avid snowboarder in the winter months and then enjoys hiking trips to the alpine in the summer.
