S1E3: Lindsay Mullen

English artist Lindsay Mullen spends her time either in her studio on the island of Menorca or in Washington, DC. A lifelong artist, Lindsay was born in Hertfordshire and graduated with a B.A. from West Surrey College of Art and Design. An opportunity in her teens led her to the Spanish island of Menorca where she worked diligently and in relative isolation to establish herself as an artist. Painting on hemp sacks and surviving on a diet of chicken wings were just some of the sacrifices she made in those early days. This clearly paid off and before long she was exhibiting around the island and enjoying her first commissions. Her career took off and she has not looked back as her work has garnered international awards with showings in solo and collective exhibitions around the world. She says: ‘I focus on creating work that both captures my eye and enters my soul, so that a palpable inspiration has no choice but to emerge and be shared with others.’ Lindsay’s next exhibition is in Ca n’Oliver, Menorca entitled "Menorca and the light of the North” from Hartung-Bergman” curated by Carles Jiménez, opening April 22 through September 24.What does Lindsay listen to when she’s painting?"Music - Keith Jarrett, London Grammar, 80’s Radio - BBC Sounds, radio plays.
