Life is art. Art is life.
Welcome! My name is Lindsey McAlister.
Born in the UK, I have lived & created in Hong Kong for 35 years.
As the founder of the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation, I have been a pioneer in the arts focusing primarily on the performing arts; creative writing, devising & creating theatre and dance. I had the honour of being recognised in 2006 as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for my commitment & contribution to UK arts overseas. Recently, I have been called back to my roots and have set up a visual arts studio in our home.
I have been drawn to explore mixed media creation which, for me, is the visual arts equivalent of creating a piece of theatre by layering elements and combining textures & images. Creativity is about the way in which we interpret the world. It is about how we think. And what we do with that information.
I’m a mixed media artist, I blend multiple genres of visual art to produce exciting combinations of images, materials, and textures. I use motivational & inspirational quotes & text in my work to empower & inspire. I also create analogue collages & photomontages, I juxtapose visuals & words to create thought-provoking collections. My current work is based on a series of small pieces, and I’ve been using tarot & playing cards as my canvas. The beauty of the arts is starting with a blank page (or stage) & filling it with ideas & creativity, by experimenting & exploring we create magical & emotive accidents.
Happy Tribe!
