Discover Local & Regional Artists
Wings Over Alma is a place to see artwork by local and regional artists. By acquiring their work, you may add to (or begin!) your personal collection. These innovative and educational mix of exhibition projects are based on themed shows, solo exhibitions and an annual Artist Member group exhibit. As a non-profit center, we strive to support and make connections between individual artists, prospective buyers and the community. Also, enjoy Wings Over Alma’s permanent collection including many fine local and regional artists, such as John Runions.
Winter 2025
Lyndsey Mickelson
I grew up in Ridgeland, a tiny town nestled between Rice Lake and Menomonie in the northern woods of Wisconsin. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in biomedical science and graduated from UW River Falls in 2022. I have additional minors in animal science and biology, and currently work as a clinical laboratory technician. My love and appreciation for nature and biology pours from my paintings through the wild scenery and especially the flowers. When I paint these familiar botanicals and scenes I learn about myself in a way- I let go of my conscious self when I pick up the brush. I pick colors as I go, and I use leaf/petal shapes based merely on what feels right in that moment. I let the bristles dance across the page, with the only boundaries being the edges of the paper. Here I can trust my own judgment, I can tune out the rest of the world, and I can even make mistakes! When I decide the piece is complete and step back, I find fragments of myself staring back at me.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to reach out to me via email at mickelsonly@gmail.com. I do take orders for custom/commission pieces! You can also find me on facebook, instagram and tiktok as Lyndsey’s Studio. My website lyndseysstudio.com has a contact me page as well as prints and other products for sale that can be shipped to you!
