About the Artist

As a 7th generation Floridian hailing from Sarasota, Lindsey spent her childhood and young adult years exploring the wild spaces of the state, from the pines to the palms. Today, she explores the rhythms and patterns of these vital ecosystems in new ways - through illustrative "coastal motifs" that showcase the diverse flora and fauna unique to each region.

Lindsey's background in anthropology and cultural heritage preservation also influences her life as a self-taught artist. She is passionate about conservation and creating art that celebrates the tapestry of Florida’s natural and cultural environment.

Lindsey lives in St. Petersburg, Florida with her fiancé, Luke Simonds, and their dog Otis and cat Nicholas. When not creating the next coastal map motif, Lindsey enjoys saltwater fishing, hiking, bird watching, beach walking, and planning the next weekend trip.
