Lindsey Yeager creates large-scale gouache paintings that explore disconnection, grief, transformation, and the emotional weight of living in a rapidly changing world. Their work merges personal narrative with broader cultural anxieties–examining loss, fear, and the longing to be understood. Through vivid imagery and metaphor, the paintings probe the messy, creature-like experience of navigating a world that often feels uninhabitable.

Explore the full painting process from start to finish, with an emphasis on using layers and light to create depth, atmosphere, and life. Learn surface prep and why it matters, then dive into underpainting, grisaille, and the slow build of color through glazing and finishing.
