Lindsay Michie Eades Oil Painter

Lindsay Michie Eades was born and raised in Winston-Salem, N.C., and studied art privately with Bill Mangum, former head of the Art Department at Salem College, who remains her biggest influrence.  She earned her B.A. in International Relations at Keele University in England, and Ph.D. in Modern History at the University of St. Andrew's in Scotland, but she continued to study art and art history in her spare time.  After lecturing in history in Africa, England, and North Carolina, working as a freelance photo-journalist, and publishing two books, Lindsay left academia to pursue art full time.  She studied at the Art Students League of Denver for four years.

Lindsay now lives in Lovingston, Virginia with her husband Dan, and continues to paint full time.  Since 2005, together with McGuffey artist Rose Hill, she has taught art classes at the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail. In 2007 the two artists formed the nonprofit organization FROM INSIDE OUT which brings art classes to prisons in central Virginia.  Lindsay is a member of the McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville, and the Art Association of Winston-Salem, and has exhibited at galleries and juried shows in New York City; Denver and Boulder, Colorado; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Greensboro and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  She has sold to collectors in the U.S., Europe, South America, Africa, and Australia, and is currently exhibiting at McGuffey, the Zevely House in Winston-Salem, Ambleside Gallery in Greensboro, and The Front Street Gallery in Lovingston.
