ABOUT
Lindy Sale spent her early years in remote western Queensland until moving to Brisbane for secondary school and university. She subsequently studied visual art and is a graduate of the Queensland College of Art. She has been an exhibiting artist for over twenty-five years.
Lindy was the 2018 winner of the Lethbridge 10,000 Small Scale Art Award. She has been highly commended in award exhibitions including the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize, the Lethbridge Landscape Prize (2021, 2022) and the Clayton Utz Art Prize (2017, 2020, 2021, 2023). She has been a finalist in the Dobell Prize for Drawing (2023) and the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing (2020, 2022) and was selected as a finalist for the Milburn Art Prize (2021) and the Elaine Bermingham National Watercolour Prize in Landscape Painting (2023).
Her work carries a theme which reflects her interest in the natural world around her. Recently she has considered the psychological effects of the natural environment, for example observation of clouds in the sky above or the complexity of a forest, and how this might be expressed in paint. Drawing is an extremely important element of her practice.
In 2021 she moved from Brisbane, Queensland to live on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Her studio is at the top of a ridge. The land drops away through forest to eventually reach a creek in the valley. Influenced by her new surroundings, the subject of her artwork has moved towards forest landscape.
