Lyndsey Ullom, East TN Artist

Lyndsey is a wildlife and portrait artist in Knoxville, TN. Her artwork features bold hues, calligraphic line work, and a passion for nature.

As a child she made portraits of loved ones and animals. Art became an identity. Human or animal, there’s something about a face. Animals connect us to our memories, stories, and Mother Earth. The otherworldliness of our planet also shows us the interconnectedness of all things, and it’s fulfilling when that resonates with her audience. She is most at home creating work that honors the Earth, tells a story, and shows us the inner beauty behind a face.

In Lyndsey’s art Realism takes a back seat to color and brilliance. She most often uses acrylic paint, india inks, pen, upcycled materials, and digital art. Lyndsey loves extracting the vividness available in these mediums. Creating is like working a puzzle backwards. She has learned to trust the process and allow for spontaneity and playfulness. The simplest of details can unlock and deepen the piece. She strives to work with her instinct, which she believe allows her to be more honest, striking and rich as an artist.

Lyndsey’s work has been shown in gallery shows in and around Knoxville and Nashville. She sells locally and online, while also doing commission work for clients.
