Lindsey Meyers :: Portrait of the Artist
Lindsey studied classical theater at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, as well as The Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, and attended The Chicago Academy for the Arts. She graduated from the University of Southern California with an honors degree in Psychology, and has taught both pre-school and middle school.
Ms. Meyers is thrilled to be a participant in the upcoming "Art On Track" event in Chicago’s famous Loop area, which will be an eight car CTA train converted into a mobile art gallery. Her work will also be featured in the smART show this coming September as part of the Flat Iron Artists Group exhibition in Wicker Park.
She is also aligning with the New Orleans Kid Camera Project and the Growing Connection in hopes of raising money and environmental awareness, as well as the level of social consciousness in the United States with regards to the smallest survivors of Hurricane Katrina- the children.
Further, Lindsey’s work can be seen in the cutting edge publication RAW 2008. This book is a collection of photographers and artists known to push limits and to set the tone for art that is now. It is all there at www.blackbook.com along with her current portfolio. Her work is also featured on Sadder City.
Pieces from Ms. Meyers’ recent collection of photography and mixed media can be viewed on www.lindseymeyers.com, www.artworldchicago.com, www.gallerylister.com, and www.art.com. Also, two photography books, Shytown and Southern Images- Book 1 are available for purchase on www.lulu.com.
Lindsey Meyers :: On Photography & Mixed Media
Throughout my life, I have consistently utilized art as a means of connectedness to the world around me. Having no formal photography training, I create solely out of emotional necessity and through intense sensory experience. I use only images when a visual element requires silence, and add text to guide the momentum of an image in a particular direction.
My pieces are influenced by the energy and intensity of social and cultural diversity, in addition to the comparisons between rural and urban environments. My work is the result of the culmination of words, sounds and images essential to basic human existence. I derive much of my inspiration from the art which litters the country's streets,and from simply watching and dissecting people, objects and instances.
Mixed media pieces are usually large format photographs on layered canvas- which are submerged in gels, glitter and acrylic paints to achieve a glazed appearance. The words are intended to have a poetic/scroll-like feeling, and can be read and interpreted in multiple ways.
