Biography
Lindsay Liboiron
Lindsay Liboiron is an award-winning artist and art instructor born in 1999 in Hamilton, Ontario.

Artist Statement
"The Living Woods" is a collection of artworks that are inspired from the natural world, displaying fantastical creatures that are shaped by earthly elements. These works blend the familiar and strange, capturing creatures that lurk within our forests. Some of these creatures are inspired by folktales from the Czech Republic, while others reflect my lifelong fascination with the fantastical and strange stories I have encountered in my childhood. I want these paintings to create a sense of mystery and wonder for the viewer to question their existence.
The atmospheric soundscape was created by Lucas Liboiron, an experienced sound designer and video game developer, as he incorporates the natural sounds of the forest with eerie hints to the creatures within the paintings. Working with my brother has added a deeper layer of storytelling, as this composition invites viewers to not only observe the artwork, but to listen for the hidden creatures that lurk within.
Maybe these creatures walk quietly through our forests – or who's to say they exist at all? Perhaps they have just gotten very good at hiding, and we’ve yet to notice.
Exhibition Statement
"The Living Woods" draws inspiration from the natural world, displaying fantastical creatures that are shaped by earthly elements. These beings capture a sense of both familiarity and strangeness, as they are a part of the forest yet seem to belong to another world.
