MEET THE ARTIST
Lindy Blosser is a multiple-award-winning soft pastel artist based in Metro Atlanta. She has shown in multiple galleries in the Southeast as well as the renowned National Arts Club Gallery in New York. While she graduated with a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Kennesaw State University, she is self taught in the medium of soft pastels. It is with this medium that she found her true passion for creating. She loves painting portraits and figures, but also finds great joy in painting nature and the animals on her small homestead. When asked about her work she says: "When creating pieces, I believe it is important to look for life’s hidden beauties not just in bleak situations but also in our everyday lives. I want my work to portray the human spirit in all of its facets. My goal is to capture the emotions that we feel as we go through life, and to communicate these emotions with my audience. I want to inspire people to look for the magic around them and to cherish the fragility of life."
About the medium from the artists:
I am self taught and am fully enjoying the learning process. Even though I sometimes find myself saying “I don’t know what I’m doing” at certain stages in my paintings, it all ends up coming together by the end. This is how I choose to see life. This part may be a bit awkward but there’s so much beauty to look forward to!
And pastels for me are one of those beautiful things. Part of the reason I love them so much is for their qualities. They are incredibly fragile just like our lives are. When using them against my sanded paper, I have a pile of colored dust gathering at the bottom of my easel to show what I’ve given up or shed to get to where I am. Some of this dust can be collected to make new sticks, just like our heartaches or trials can be molded into something different- a new layer to who we are. Pastels are unlike any other medium, as they are almost pure pigment with very little binder, so when applied to a surface the pigments will refract the light. They are also the most permanent medium if cared for properly. Life is like this. It is something beautiful, something fragile, and something that will affect the world around us long after we are gone.
