Collection: Lindsey Tyson

Recently awarded the national ‘Women In Art’ award for emerging abstract artist and working from her studio in Scarborough, Lindsey is inspired and driven by a love of nature and the inherent essence of her surroundings. In addition to this, she loves the challenge of combining many and varied textile/art processes and techniques. 
Driven by process and experimentation, Lindsey’s work is bold, spontaneous, energetic, and expressive.

Abstract in nature and inspired by her surroundings – whether that be a tumultuous landscape or the ‘mundane’ beauty of a cracked pavement – her work evolves intuitively in response to her muse.

“Although my recent work is abstract in nature, I try to capture a little of the essence of my surroundings – after a lifetime living by the sea in this beautiful part of the country.” 

Seagull Gallery are one of only two galleries with permanent displays of Lindsey's work all of which are original, one-off pieces.

*The Women in Art award is sponsored by Emma Thompson and is a female-led not-for-profit community whose aim is to support mentor and promote women artists. Each year they hold an art award open to all emerging women artists that are living and working in the UK. The submissions are then shortlisted to 22 artists whom they feel have the potential to excel in the art world.

Lindsey talks about working with her favourite tool, a Messermeister Silicone Bowl Scraper
