Lindsay Koontz

Lindsay Koontz was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with a minor in Psychology in 2013 from Kent State University. In 2012 she participated in the Blossom Art Program where she studied with Christine Bourdette and Richard Rezac in addition to travelling to NYC to visit with contemporary artists David Reed and David Humphrey. She received her Master of Fine Arts Degree with a focus in Sculpture + Interdisciplinary Practice in 2017 from Ohio University. 

Though trained as a sculptor, Koontz works in a variety of media including video, analog and digital photography, painting, drawing, performance, and soft sculpture. Her efforts seek to view nature from a comprehensive perspective. The beauty of a mountain range or seascape can be found in abstracted paintings while drawings, photography, and sculpture seek to investigate natural processes at their core by looking at materials on a microscopic level.

Koontz’s work has been exhibited in over 30 shows nationally and internationally including Iceland, Los Angeles, NYC, Texas, North Dakota, Virginia, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In 2019 she completed a Residency at the School of Visual Art in Manhattan where she focused on the intersection between art and science, utilizing bacteria samples and microscopic imagery to create metaphoric images revolving around memory, grief, and our undeniable interconnectedness to one another.
