Lyndsey is self-taught, mixing fine art, illustration
and design. Leaving school she joined Royal Crown Derby
as a figurine painter, a role which included a demonstration
tour to Canada. She then became a freelance illustrator
and designer, supplying illustrations for cards, children's
books and calendars to major international publishers.
She also designed a tableware range called 'Storm' for
Denby Pottery which is still in stores worldwide.
Since 1994 Lyndsey has concentrated solely on her wildlife
art, painting from reference gathered from trips to
Africa. Her work includes both a tight photographic
feel and a looser, atmospheric style, experimenting
with larger brushes, giving her later work a raw unfinished
look which is very distinctive.
Her award winning paintings are widely collected, selling
successfully at Christie's and through numerous galleries
and exhibitions. She publishes her own limited edition
prints and sells through Solomon & Whitehead.
Lyndsey is proud to support the work of the David Shepherd
Wildlife Foundation to help raise vital funds for conservation.
