About Marian Lyndgaard

Artist Bio

Marian Lyndgaard is a multidisciplinary artist whose work investigates interspecies relationships as a way to challenge and soften the boundaries we place between ourselves, other beings, and the spaces we inhabit. Their practice moves fluidly between visual art, community engagement, and textile repair, driven by a desire to mend not only materials, but also the frayed connections within our social fabric.
They hold an MFA in Visual Arts from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BA in Art from College of St. Benedict in MN focused in Studio Art and Art Education with a minor in Education. She was also honored with an CMAB/McKnight Individual Artist Award for a series of mixed media paintings.
Their work has been exhibited in galleries across the United States, including the MacRostie Art Center and the Sierra Arts Gallery. She has recently exhibited her work at The Whit Gallery juried show Trail Mix featuring honorary juror Wanona LuDuke.
Alongside their studio practice, they founded a local mending circle—an ongoing gathering to restore worn fabrics while fostering mutual support, sharing of resources and stories, and collective celebration. In a time marked by division and disconnection, this circle acts as both a literal and symbolic act of repair, rooted in care and sustainability.
