Lindsy Halleckson’s work lives at the intersection of art, philosophy, and science in the tradition of minimalism, color field, and contemplative practice. Her paintings illuminate the invisible atmospheric implications of climate change, combining scientific research and creative practice. Her work has been shown in galleries across the US and internationally, and her paintings have been commissioned for public and private collections from Martha’s Vineyard to Los Angeles. Recognized through exhibitions, fellowships, and grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board (2018, 2021, 2024), Metropolitan Regional Arts Council/McKnight Foundation (2017, 2023), and Puffin Foundation (2013), her practice extends beyond traditional boundaries. She has collaborated with atmospheric chemists on projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and one of her paintings appears in the Art x Climate collection as part of the 5th National Climate Assessment (NCA5). Artist research residencies in the Arctic, including The Arctic Circle (2018) and aboard ship Skydancer in Greenland (2023), have expanded her scope, infusing collaborations, remote sensing data, and atmospheric measurements gathered with her equipment. Other art residencies she has attended include Montello Foundation (2024), Hinge Arts at The Kirkbride (2016), as a Jerome-funded Emerging Artist Fellow at Tofte Lake Center (2011), New York Mills Regional Cultural Center (2010), and she was an Art(ists) on the Verge Fellow (2018). Wally Workman Gallery currently represents her work.
