Margaret Lindsey is a life-long artist, educator, and facilitator, who practices painting and teaching as a means to facilitate the evolution of human consciousness. Her personal artmaking, regardless of specific subject matter, is always channeled through her body, and intimately twined with the awareness universal interconnectedness. She is particularly fascinated with the interplay of seeming opposites, such as sky+water, dark+light, as well as the elements, heart-force, life-force, edge, and liminal places. To her, artmaking is like sunlight and breath—it is necessary nourishment for life. She has studied art, and consciousness, with a number of indigenous teachers and master artists, seeking to heal herself and help heal the human relationship with the earth. She calls this work “remembering forward”—the art of weaving ancient indigenous wisdom from the past into an integrated imagined future. The sacred geometry that appears in her paintings–mandalas in particular–are examples of this process. She utilizes these ancient cosmological maps as tools for centering, for making connections, and for understanding the archetypal forces of our world. The mandalas focus energy, integrate seemingly opposite qualities, and offer a way to meditate with what is.
