I am a visual artist who draws inspiration from found natural objects, such as birds’ nests and acorns. I cradle pieces of my nature collection in highly reflective man-made vessels, photograph them hundreds of times, paint from my photographs in the studio, and then exhibit each new series of artwork for you to collect. It is my hope that my artwork brings you as much wonder and connection to the land as it does me.

Nature artist Lindsey Kiser enjoys creating images of natural objects, such as feathers and birds' nests, in acrylic and scratchboard. ADC Fine Art named Lindsey “The Still Life Artist of the Year” in November 2023. In May 2022, Lindsey was nominated by the board of ComposeArts to be the organization’s inaugural Featured Visual Artist. In 2016, the governor of Kentucky appointed Lindsey to serve on the board of the Kentucky Arts Council on which she served until November 2022. Since 2018, Lindsey’s artwork has been exhibited in numerous solo and juried group art shows. (See Exhibitions). So far, Lindsey has illustrated two published children’s books, The Royal Red Bird, written by Angela Rice, and A-Z for Me!, written by Mitzi Adams.Currently, Lindsey’s work may be found at ADC Fine Art in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky; the permanent collection of US Bank in Bowling Green, Kentucky; and Jackie Barnes’s Interior Design Studio in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her murals may be seen in Atkins & Pearce, Inc., in Covington, Kentucky; several Boone County elementary schools; Beechwood Academy in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky; and many more private residences in the Greater Cincinnati area.Kiser earned her undergraduate degree in fine art with minors in biology and chemistry from Georgetown College. She studied 19th Century British art history under the late Ilaria Bignamini, a curator for the Tate, and drawing at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. Buying into the myth of the starving artist, Lindsey earned her juris doctor (J.D.) at night from Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University, while, ironically, supporting herself by painting murals by day.Lindsey’s art studio is in her home in Union, Kentucky in the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan Area.
