Lyndsey Jayne Gough
German born English Artist.
​
Abstract expressionism is the movement I am drawn to most amongst other artistic movements. My Art is based on a development of abstract art, aimed at subjective emotional expression with particular emphasis on interactions within society. When creating art. I am incrementally facing emotional dysregulation as my antidote to suffering is the truth in my art. It distracts me from worries, reduces stress and creates a healthy state of mind. Art is my therapy and based on my story.
​
Past. Growing up as a Warrant Officer’s Daughter I lived in an ambiguous subculture that blends in with the lifestyle of a service member. Due to moving frequently I ended up being the new child quite often. Moving to different places, different cultures and different ideologies, foods and forms of art were introduced to me at a very young age.
​
Present. Purchasing a Victorian property in Ilkley in 2016. The property contains the studio and online art gallery which will be open to the public by appointment only.
​
Future. To create pieces of artwork and collaborate in mindfulness workshops.
