ABOUT THE ARTIST

Lindsay graduated in 2003 from Katherine Gibbs in NYC with a degree in Visual Communications - Graphic Design. After graduation she returned home to Massachusetts and worked at Salt Marsh Pottery, painting bisque ware and loading kilns. While visiting her aunt in Stowe, Vermont that following Thanksgiving, she knew there was something special here. Not one to shy away from an adventure, she moved to Stowe in January 2004 and began her graphic design career at The Stowe Reporter.

From there she’s freelanced for over 2 decades with some babysitting & other various jobs sprinkled in for variety. Yearning for a creative outlet away from her computer, she took a wheel class at Muddy Creek Pottery with Heather Stearns in 2022, which led her to handbuilding and surface design. Wanting to dive deeper & muddier in the studio, she found her way to the beloved River Arts - where you can now find her learning, creating and loading the kiln.

She lives with her husband, Aaron, 2 kiddos, James & George, 4 chickens, and 2 dogs in Wolcott, Vermont. Together - they love to be on and in the water, playing in the woods, watching movies, devouring ice cream, listening & dancing to music, and having competitive game nights.
