Lindsay describes her attempts at raising chickens and ducks, and how she had to acquire some new skills in managing her flock.

She told her story at the Raven Narratives events in late February and early March 2025 when the theme was “trees - rocks - birds”.

Originally from rural eastern Canada, Lindsay has worked professionally in environmental science and accounting, but her heart is in exploring the human experience through process-oriented visual art that uses human bodies as printmaking tools. She is driven by the desire to find and expand the edges of her capacity for… everything. She currently enjoys living in Durango, Colorado with her sassy, smart, and hilarious almost-grown children. She has been affectionately described as half hippie, half redneck. Said description was accompanied by a picture of a lifted VW van.

Join us for two Raven Narratives SLAM storytelling events when the theme will be “mistakes” on Friday, June 20th, at the Fenceline Cider in Mancos, and on Saturday, June 21st, at the Ska Brewing in Durango. Storytelling SLAM events feature stories told by audience members, so bring your “mistakes” story and you might get a chance to share it on the stage! Follow us on Instagram and on Facebook for the latest information on ticket sales and more.
