MJ Lindo-Lawyer paints her dreams, fantasies, and nightmares in the expressions of the women in her pieces. They attempt to evoke emotion, celebration wonder, yet also provide insight into the contemporary feminine story. Lindo-Lawyer is a self-taught, self-motivated, self-inspired creator of whimsical alternate universes, endlessly searching for truth and release by touching oil paint to wooden surface. She was born in Nicaragua, raised in Canada, and now lives and works in the Bay Area.
