Lindsey’s work is a direct reflection of her lifelong relationship with, and appreciation for nature and it’s diverse landscapes. Her collages 
are a complex and colorful blend of recycled paper and unexpected salvaged embellishments, creating an abstract and symbolic tapestry of repurposed medium. “Objects that are discarded take on a new context, so that nothing is wasted, either in a human or an ecological sense. I like materials that would otherwise clash, like paper and metal, to show how to see, as in ‘see differently’, how things might work after all as a whole.” Antonia’s skill and unique perspective embodies her passions for and deep connection to the environment that she refers to as “home”.
Antonia Lindsey completed her formal training in visual art through the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture & Allied Arts, where she majored in Fine & Applied Art, 
studying painting, jewelry & metalsmithing. After a short career in the commercial jewelry industry she went on to obtain her masters degree at Marylhurst University and is now working as an art therapist and professional artist. Antonia’s work is shown regionally and she is represented by Contemporary Crafts Gallery & The Real Mother Goose in Portland, as well as through private commissions. She and her husband, Jeff Lindsey, work out of their home studio in Damascus, OR.
