About

Lindsay Tyler is a visual artist working in acrylic and mixed media. Her practice centers on resilience, transformation, and personal truth, expressed through layered abstraction and symbolic storytelling. Inspired by Michigan’s lakes and rivers alongside lived experiences with grief and illness her work explores tension between control and chaos, the organic and the constructed, the visible and the unseen.

After earning a degree in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts from Central Michigan University (2012), Lindsay began painting in 2022. Her work quickly gained recognition for its emotional depth and technical nuance. She has exhibited in juried and museum exhibitions across Michigan, New York, Colorado, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Recent highlights include the 46th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Monmouth Museum (NJ) and the 96th Michigan Contemporary Art Exhibition at the Muskegon Museum of Art. Her painting Wilt was also exhibited during ArtPrize 2025.

In 2025, Lindsay received the People’s Choice Award at the “Art of Nature” exhibition and earned third place in the international “Under a Dark Sky” competition (2024). She is represented online by Covet Art Gallery in California and continues to pursue museum and juried opportunities nationwide.

When she isn't painting, Lindsay enjoys spending time with her family and exploring the outdoors, including fishing and gardening.
