Art at McIntire

Lyndi Angermeier has been a professional artist for 33 years. Her childhood was spent in Florida and teen years in Heidelberg, Germany. Frequent trips to museums throughout Europe nurtured her appreciation of the arts. Returning to the United States for college, she graduated with a Master’s in Psychology, yet the pull toward the arts was stronger.

She went on to pursue studies at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. New Orleans provided her with an abundance of architecture and gardens. Her oils with dappled light gained appeal with the Garden District residents, and she became one of the highest selling artists at the Carol Robinson Gallery for many years. Her career as an artist was off to a good start.

In her 30s, she relocated to California, where she painted for 20 years on the Monterey Peninsula and along the Big Sur coast. She exhibited at the Carmel Art Association, as well as at several other local galleries. As docent for the Monterey Museum of Art, she was exposed to art history and the inspiring paintings of the California Impressionists. 

Lyndi’s current landscape paintings have evolved from her study and love of nature and the effects of sunlight to now include the Shenandoah Valley. She has participated in many solo, group, and juried exhibitions in Louisiana, California, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Her work is included in private, medical, and corporate collections throughout the United States and Europe. Her large pieces are particularly sought after by interior designers in Charlottesville and Richmond, VA.

Lindsay Knights is a fourth-year student at the University of Virginia and in the School of Architecture. Although she is often occupied with schoolwork, her passion for art has never faded. Her love for the visual arts has been a constant development since her early years, yet her portfolio grew exponentially in her later high school years as she refined her technical skills and explored new media. By the end of her senior year, she had decided to explore a career in architectural design to continue to expand her portfolio. For the past five summers, she has spent her days creating commissioned pieces, adding work to her personal collection, and creating art to be displayed in local exhibits, including Charlottesville’s First Fridays. Since she also enjoys capturing elements of nature through photography, she most often creates realistic art inspired by photographs.

Lindsay’s work is dream-like in subject and realistic in style. Most pieces are in color to portray the effects of light and contrast on various colors. The dual significance of contrast and color creates an enchanting scene that spotlights the use of windows as connectors between inside and outside. The figures that appear in her work provide graceful and elegant elements as their shadows strengthen contrast. She emphasizes qualities of color and texture in forms of nature, both simple and complex. She has experience with a wide range of media, including acrylic, watercolor, pastel, graphite, charcoal, marker, and colored pencil. She strives to continue to add depth to her portfolio by experimenting with new techniques and an even broader range of media.
