Lindsey Wollard

BIO
Lindsey Wollard has been interested in art all her life. As a child, she sacrificed Saturday morning cartoons for art lessons at the local Art League. She excelled in art classes all through her school years and when it came to choosing a major in college, the decision was not a hard one. After completing her first year of college at Florida State University, she moved back to her hometown of Ft. Myers, FL and attended the nearby Florida Gulf Coast University where she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors Degree in Art in 2005. FGCU was also host to many of her first exhibitions, including her first solo exhibition. She has also exhibited at Space 39 and the Arts for ACT Gallery both located in Ft. Myers, FL, and the Art League of Bonita Springs in Bonita Springs, FL where she was awarded 3rd Place. Wollard also earned the Art House Foundation Award in 2004 and a credited photo of her work was featured in Southwest Florida Happenings Magazine in July of 2007. She currently lives in Ft. Myers, FL, where she works at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I think some of the most interesting photographs are of fleeting moments, like this one. They can not be staged or even recreated. These kinds of occurrences happen all the time, but it is only when a camera is present that there is ever any documentation of the event. It’s all about the lucky circumstance of being at the right place at the right time, camera in hand.
