Lindsay Burke: Emerging Artist

Among the emerging artists at this year's Des Moines Art Festival was Lindsay Burke.  An Iowa native and University of Iowa  BFA student, Lindsay's multimedia works show dynamic use of paper and paint.  Her use of small nonchalantly placed paper cut outs give her paintings depth and uniform.  The works I found most striking were her landscapes and figures. This winter scene was my favorite.

I was pleased to see that Lindsay's booth was busy with activity and that people were showing a lot of interest in her work.  Lindsay was extremely humble and a delightful artist to chat with for 5 minutes.  I encourage you to support her work and know that your money is going to a cool Iowa native.

We hope to have works by Burke up at HOQ restaurant later this year.
