I have admired Lindsay's work for many years and have one of her images on an Observer's Book. The nostalgic thoughts that these books and old rulers bring are maybe why I collect them too. I am very excited to be hanging her pieces on Baxters walls.

Artist Bio: Lindsay Madden
Lindsay Madden is a figurative painter who explores, through painting, objects and photographs, the theme of childhood and growing up.
The timeless honesty in children’s body language is the focus of Lindsay’s work, adopting playful narratives that connect the past to that which remains relevant in adulthood. Lindsay’s interest lies in the uninhibited freedom of children, often juxtaposing the freedom that children feel while playing, throwing handstands and cartwheels for example, against and within, the rigid constraints and limitations of a ruler.
Using objects associated with schooldays, chalkboards, vintage school rulers, book covers and vintage gameboards as an alternative canvas, to communicate our longing to hold on to the past.
