All About Me
Ever since I can remember I have had a fascination for glass blowing and the mesmerizing process of creating tangible objects out of molten glass.
My first experience with melting glass in a flame was incredible and opened my eyes to a whole new world of creativity. I've done art all my life... painting, drawing, ceramics, etc, etc in my art classes throughout my formal education, but this was different. This was a medium unlike any other that I'd ever experienced hands on. I was immediately addicted, and haven't looked back since.
My experience with glass has changed the entire way I look at art and its possibilities. With glass as my medium, I've been able to truly express my creativity in a three-dimensional, functional way.
In 2003 I received a BS in Advertising from UT-Austin and began my journey as the owner of my glass jewelry company, Lindsay Designs. I've been working as a full-time glass artist since 2008 and feel very fortunate to be able to pursue my creative passion for a living.
Along with my passion (ok, obsession!) for glass is my love of color and the unique patterns that color alone creates. I'm influenced by modern and retro designs because of their bursts of color and patterns. I love to portray these patterns and designs in my work. I find inspiration everywhere – from fabric patterns, to magazines, to wallpaper designs, to even a rug in a room. Much of my inspiration also comes from understanding the color palette, which has been ingrained in me since I was a kid in art class.
When I'm not creating glasswork you'll most likely find my boyfriend and I off on an adventure... bike riding, hiking, rock climbing, kayaking or playing pickleball. Then coming home for snuggles with my sweet pit bull, Tau.
