Lindsay Keeling is an abstract artist and entrepreneur who loves to encourage creativity. She is originally from Tennessee and relocated to WNC from the Florida panhandle. Lindsay exhibits her work at galleries and festivals across the southeast.
My abstract landscapes capture the peaceful energy of nature. The horizon line grounds me to the present moment, inviting an appreciation of my surroundings and space to calm my busy mind. My work embodies this serene experience through an exploration of color and contrast where sky meets earth or water. Through different series, I’ve explored softening and presence, healing through playfulness, loosening up to break free of constraints, and adding tactile mixed media elements to feel more grounded. Layers of color create depth and visual texture, resulting in my unique view of the world around me. My work is an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect.
