COVID-19 PAGES Featured Artist – LINDSAY LEE LONG
Lindsay Lee Long is a visual artist and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art in illustration from the School Of Visual Art in New York City. She is currently enrolled in Pratt Institute’s graduate program for Art Therapy and Creative Development.
In 2017, Lindsay founded Respect The Art, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing art education to youth and families in underserved communities.
Lindsay’s contribution to COVID-19 PAGES is a mixed media collage called “Balancing Act.” Here is her comment about this work:
“The images of the women in this piece are sourced from a story in Essence magazine’s July/August 2020 issue. The overlapping images tell a story of multiple fights, multiple duties, and a multitude of resilience. Women of color, and Black women specifically, have been among the hardest hit during this pandemic. The work extends outside of the jobs we do. Constant double duty. A balancing act.”
