Tina Steele Lindsey – Fine Art

Artist Statement  

I lean toward simplicity in composition. I am wholly deliberate in this. We tend to complicate everything for a bigger picture, but in art there is one thought, one idea, and it should be clear, concise, to the point. Less is best I believe, in all things. The more complicated the world becomes, the less complicated I become in my studio. We just all need to live life well, simply, wonderfully.  ~ Tina Steele Lindsey~

 A Note from Tina

I am a second generation artist after both parents, mother Jane and  father Victor Denfrey Steele.  My introduction to painting was in my father’s studio where he instructed in Russian Impressionism methods and from there I essentially went on my own. 

As an intuitive painter I am most concerned about the emotion a painting exudes.  If I am not inspired I don’t paint.  No matter how wonderfully executed a painting may be if there is no inspiration while painting there most likely will be no life in that painting.  You can stand in front of a Michelangelo, then a Whistler, then a Graydon Parrish, and know the art of inspired beings. 

 1977

While driving alone in my car one afternoon, my life and that of the unborn child I was carrying and didn’t know at the time, were saved from certain death by an audible male voice within my car. Miracles do happen
