Artist's Biography
Showing an early flair for art, Lyndsay Russell left Bournemouth for London to study at Watford College of Art & Design in the '80's.
After graduating with an Honours Diploma, she worked mainly in advertising, until diversifying into photography and journalism in 1993.
Before long, her photos were appearing in the national press and she began working as a regular freelance for magazines and broadsheet newspapers such as The Ritz and The Independent.
"It's amazing how it all started. I was frustrated because I just couldn't find the right painting to go in my newly renovated kitchen... so I picked up my brushes again, and created a couple of my own, exploring my original style further".
"Visitors to the house who had no idea I painted asked where they could get similar pieces.. and so I began taking commissions."
Since then, things have just snowballed by word of mouth.
Lyndsay has an unusual skill in adapting the shade palette and features of a room into her private commissions, painting custom originals that echo their surroundings in a unique, surrealistic style. Whether fine art or for commercial interior design, her signature style is renowned for being surreal, flowing, and swirling. With a fresh, whimsical approach to her work, she creates contemporary pieces that are both engaging and distinctive.
In addition to the numerous commissions for her work from both private cllients and interior designers, Lyndsay has successfully exhibited at 'The Design For Living' show hosted by The Landmark Arts, The Stars Organisation Charity Lunch, The Library Gallery (St. John's Wood) Margaret McCloy's Design Emporium, the fashionable La Brioche Gallery (West Hampstead) and The Acre Studios Winter exhibition. She has recently exhibited dance themed paintings at The Landmark Arts Festival Of Song 2010, and has works for sale in Gallery 63A. Her next exhibition is May 2nd - 7th 2011 - The Market House Kingston as part of the new dynamic KAOS group of artists.
Her work has also been held in the collection of renowned Fine Art dealer Geraldine Anvari, of Anvari Art Ltd and on display at The Chelsea Harbour Design Centre.
