Finding solace and tranquility can be a challenge in a chaotic world. However, for Lindsay Tempest, a talented artist, and illustrator, the realm of creativity has always been her sanctuary. From a young age, Lindsay, who is autist and ADHD, discovered that drawing was not only her passion but also her safe haven. Through her artistic journey, she has seamlessly woven the threads of art, mental health, and neurodiversity into captivating and thought-provoking pieces.

On her tee-shirt we read: “CALL YOUR ENERGY HOME.” Next header says Metaphorical Artistry, Body text says,Lindsay's illustrations, steeped in metaphor and diversely rich in meaning, offer a glimpse into the complex landscape of human emotions and experiences. Influenced by narrative artists such as Paula Rego and Frida Kahlo, Lindsay employs traditional techniques using biro, acrylic paint, colored pencils, and occasionally watercolor. She breathes life into her subjects through these mediums, creating a visual language that speaks directly to the soul.
Recognized for her extraordinary talent, Lindsay was shortlisted in the top five inaugural 'Womankind' Magazine Art and Illustration Awards in 2019. Since then, her work has graced the pages of notable publications, including Oh Magazine (Issue 55), Dream Broad (Issue 4), Vaine Magazine (Issue 3), and Isabella and Us (Issue 15). Her illustrations have captivated readers worldwide, offering a glimpse into the profound connection between art and the human experience.

Text reads: Beyond her commissioned work, Lindsay has authored two transformative books available at Amazon: 'My Wellbeing Art Journal' and 'The Exploring You Journal.' These journals are not just artistic tools but also companions on the journey of self-discovery. 'The Exploring You Journal' is a safe space designed to delve into the unique being that you are. Filled with prompts carefully selected to foster insight and self-reflection, this journal empowers individuals to explore their feelings, build confidence, and embrace their unique identities. Lindsay's personal journey as a neurodivergent individual informs the content of this journal, making it a valuable resource for all ages.

'My Wellbeing Art Journal' offers a different yet equally captivating experience. This intimate, 72-page journal, curated by Lindsay herself, features her own words and illustrations. Each page has been meticulously crafted to inspire and soothe, inviting readers to build a relationship with the journal. With blank and lined pages, this compact and transportable journal becomes a trusted space to sketch, write thoughts, and unleash creativity. It is a heartfelt expression of Lindsay's mental health journey, born out of challenging times and the desire to connect with others.

The words “Always have hope in your heart” are behind her in the scene. Connection. Support, Beauty. To further foster connection and a sense of community, Lindsay has created social media pages where individuals can share their experiences with her journals. Through Facebook and Instagram, readers can find support, encouragement, and a shared space to celebrate the beauty of art and self-expression. Visit Lindsay's website: https://www.lindsaytempest.co.uk/. In Lindsay's art, we find beauty and a gentle reminder that within the depths of our souls, healing and self-discovery await. With each stroke of her pen or brush, she invites us to embark on a journey of introspection, offering a glimpse of our shared humanity and the interconnectedness of our experiences.
