Though firmly rooted in her home state of Connecticut, Lindsey Fyfe Perkel spent formative years living in Southern California and the United Kingdom, traveling coast to coast and country to country. Wild spaces, rugged topography, and the churn of land and sea generate ideas for her oil paintings, which are big, bright, and intuitive.
Lindsey loved drawing and coloring from a young age, and was encouraged to embrace her creative inclinations. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with Magna Cum Laude honors from Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, and a Master of Arts in Painting, University of Edinburgh, Scotland. She is a past Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar (2009) and a recipient of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation Artist Trust Award (2019).
Fyfe has worked professionally in museums, galleries, and secondary/post-secondary education. Through her work at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, she was named the Connecticut Art Education Association’s 2022 Museum Educator of the Year and a Connecticut Office of the Arts’ Elizabeth Mahaffey Arts Administration Fellow in 2024. In addition to painting, she loves pottery, playing fiddle and guitar, coffee, second-hand stores, staying up late, and taking in any and all scenery. Lindsey resides in Goshen, CT with her husband and teenaged stepchildren. Her studio is located at Whiting Mills in Winsted.
