This week’s featured artist is Lindsay Siegel. Here is what Lindsay had to say about her artwork when she sat down with Type One:

T1: When did you begin to draw and paint?

Lindsay: I have always been interested in drawing and painting.  I began my love for drawing and painting in Lower School.  Middle School and Upper School art classes really gave me a chance to grow as an artist.

T1: Are you taking any art classes this year?

Lindsay: I am currently taking Studio Art AP.

T1: What have you most enjoyed about that class?

Lindsay: I really enjoy the freedom that I have in this class to work on projects that interest me.

T1: Which art class are you planning on taking next year and what are you most looking forward to in this class?

Lindsay: Next year I am planning on taking either Art Seminar AP or 2D AP to expose myself to the digital world of art.

T1: Are you currently working on anything?

Lindsay: Right now I am working on my 12 concentration pieces.  My concentration is a calendar of all of the 12 months, and each month is represented by a different image.

T1: How would you define your artistic style?

Lindsay: My artistic style is very realistic.  I focus on creating pieces that show the details of humans, nature, and other objects.  I use pencil and colored pencil to create the real effect, and it is so rewarding to finish a project with such great results.

T1: What is your biggest inspiration for your artwork?

Lindsay: I like to use everyday objects and people around me as inspiration for my artwork.  This helps to make the pieces relatable.
