About the Artist

 

Lindsay Spina aka "La Spina"

Lindsay has been drawing, painting, and engaging in the arts since a lil rugrat.  Her academic arts background includes a Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting and a Masters degree in Art Therapy.  

Lindsay started her arts career working in art galleries and as a custom picture framer, in Portland, OR.  She later went back to grad school to become an Art Therapist, and has worked in community, school, and hospital settings throughout Portland for almost two decades. 

While Lindsay's work as a mental health therapist has been incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally, she turned her focus back towards art-making during "The Vid" and created "La Spina Designs" as an outlet for her own creativity and self-care.

Lindsay's other passions include backpacking, snowboarding, crabbing, walking her dog, and merry-making with friends and family! Lindsay also enjoys traveling the world, experiencing and being inspired by other cultures.
