Artist Statement:

Lyndsie Nash is an emerging artist who paints connections with nature. She pushes beyond pure subject representation to highlight experiences and relationships observed directly under natural light. She reveals her subject’s depth of character through creative decisions in color, composition, and textural qualities, creating an interplay between realism and abstraction.

Each painting begins by creating color and compositional studies, during which she designs the leading visual effects with unique atmospheric and graphic qualities. Her visual expressions include a variety of brushwork to specifically describe forms and their surfaces. Movement is also a key focus to further convey energy by translating emotion across the entire surface of an artwork, creating an expressive, dynamic whole that feels alive.

Biographical Statement:

Lyndsie Nash’s career is built on her connections with nature. Growing up in Northern Michigan, Lyndsie’s earliest memories exemplify her creative outdoor lifestyle. Along with her adventures, she painted the local flora and created her vision for outdoor apparel. She went on to study clothing design, launching her career in the outdoor industry and prompting a move west. Through her collective passions for fashion and creative problem-solving, she designed and tested her creations with world-class athletes throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains and beyond. Teaching fashion illustration at California College of the Arts became another rewarding professional experience before moving to Park City, Utah, with her family to live in the mountains.

To further translate her connections with nature, Lyndsie paints figurative work in the landscape, where she applies her deep understanding of color and textural qualities to evoke a vast array of emotions while being outside. With her curiosity and sensitivity, she highlights these connections with her subjects as seen directly from lived experiences. From these moments of discovery, she reveals her subject’s depth of character through painted studies, abstractions, and large-scale artworks. Her work exemplifies women seen from the perspective of another woman, surrounded by the beautiful nuances of our natural world.
