Lindsay Ferguson
Artist Bio:
Lindsay Ferguson is an artist in Columbus, Ohio. She primarily works in gouache, watercolor, and colored pencil, but also enjoys experimenting with other mediums such as oils, acrylics, and pastels. Having grown up in a family of artists and attended public schools that heavily emphasized the importance of arts in education, Lindsay has always been passionate about the ways that art fosters community and connection, and she previously completed a fellowship with the Ohio Arts Council. When she's not painting or drawing, Lindsay also fuels her creativity through writing short fiction.
Artist Statement:
My passion for art emerged from being immersed in it at a young age -- whether by watching my mother paint and sew, or by getting to explore various mediums and cultural art forms as a student. I've always been drawn to visual art and find painting and drawing both relaxing and satisfying in a way that few other activities can touch. I'm endlessly fascinated by people and their stories, and so I'm particularly drawn to portrait art. In my own work, I'm compelled to capture the forms of Black women and people of color to reflect the world around me, and because I saw these groups the least represented in museums while growing up. As a multi-passionate creative, my focus at Daylight Artist Collective is to establish consistency specifically in my painting and drawing, to lean into the play and imperfection of art-making while building my skills and learning from the other resident artists, and to connect with art lovers in the Columbus area.
