Lindsey Erin at Art Elevated

Art Elevated is thrilled to have contemporary artist, Lindsey Erin, back to the gallery for two days to celebrate her latest collection of work. Lindsey’s painting process is very meditative and done with pure intention. Much of her work is painted in oil, created with a fusion of technique and style. The catalyst for all her creations began with the notion that “we all have a story to tell.” Many of her paintings symbolically convey the beauty of a growth mindset: the power of our thoughts, deeds, actions, and personal reflection. The figures she chooses to portray evoke narratives that bountifully represent our Divine Nature and our potential through a fusion of colorful flora and fauna.
Join us Friday, October 25th for a "Fall into Art" Reception from 5p-8p. The evening will include an artist Meet & Greet, music, refreshments, and fall libations. The festivities continue on Saturday, October 26th from 2p-5p. Linsey will be hosting a Guilded Leaf Tea including an artist talk, tea sandwiches, cider, tea, confections, and bouquet flower bar.
