- Lindsay Olson is an interdisciplinary artist interested in how science and technology support modern culture. She uses textiles, drawing, and mixed media to translate complex scientific ideas into accessible visual works that help audiences engage with fields ranging from particle physics to ecology and infrastructure. Lindsay holds a BA in Fine Arts from Columbia College Chicago, where she later taught in the Fashion Studies Department for more than twenty years. Her projects begin with direct engagement inside labs and research centres, where she studies the tools, data, and problem-solving methods that shape scientific work. Lindsay served as Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s first artist in residence and has collaborated with scientists at the Field Museum, the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, and the University of Indiana Northwest. These partnerships inform her material choices and design strategies, grounding her artwork in real scientific practice. Her work has been featured in science and art publications and exhibited in museums, galleries, and academic venues. She is currently the first artist in residence with the Pacific Northwest National Lab and The Wetlands Initiative. Ongoing and upcoming projects explore ocean acoustics, water infrastructure, and other systems that shape human and environmental health.
