LINDSY HALLECKSON

Lindsy Halleckson’s luminous paintings are a distinct exploration of the atmosphere, driven by a process that evolves alongside her deepening understanding of light and perception. With an approach that seamlessly merges scientific inquiry, deep observation, and profound introspection, her work embodies an ongoing dialogue between the external world and the inner self. Through her meticulous study of the sky at the edges of day and night, Halleckson captures the fleeting yet powerful interplay between light, atmosphere, and perception—creating works that not only document, but evoke the complex and transformative qualities of our environment.

Halleckson’s work has been shown in galleries across the US and internationally, and her paintings have been commissioned for public and private collections. Recognized through exhibitions, fellowships, and grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board (2018, 2021, 2024), Metropolitan Regional Arts Council/McKnight Foundation (2017, 2023) and Puffin Foundation (2013), her practice extends beyond traditional boundaries. She has collaborated with atmospheric chemists on projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and one of her paintings appears in the Art x Climate collection as part of the 5th National Climate Assessment (NCA5). Artist research residencies in the Arctic, including The Arctic Circle (2018) and in Greenland (2023), have expanded her scope, infusing collaborations, remote sensing data, and data gathered with her own equipment. Other art residencies attended include Cuttyhunk Island (2025), Montello Foundation (2024), Hinge Arts at The Kirkbride (2016), as a Jerome-funded Emerging Artist Fellow at Tofte Lake Center (2011) and New York Mills Regional Cultural Center (2010). She was an Art(ist) on the Verge Fellow (2018). Her work is represented by Lanoue Gallery in Boston, MA and Wally Workman Gallery in Austin, TX.
