What kind of an artist am I?

Hi, I’m Lindsay Long: artist, lifelong student, and teacher. What I love about art is how it invites us to slow down and pay attention.

I remember when it became more than a formula of lines, shade and shadows. I was in art class, drawing a grasshopper like seeing it through a microscope. Holding my pencil, I studied: Every vein. Every curve. Every angle of every leg. The lines came to life. They jumped. They gestured. I didn’t see just a grasshopper. I saw the details of a Creator.

To me, good art is more than aesthetic. Good art reveals – whether it's a logo that says light shines in the dark or a portrait of a child. Art tells a story. And we're more complete when we listen to each other's stories.

That's why I've leaned on my experiences as art student and art teacher to create custom artwork pieces for more than 200 individuals and businesses. It's a joy to see the world through different sets of eyes.

But what motivates me most of all? I serve the ultimate Artist who gave me a husband and three children to notice and love.
