Lindsey Millikan
I am a fine art painter and muralist. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. After I had achieved my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Texas State University, I moved to San Francisco to complete my Master of Fine Arts degree at the Academy of Arts University. I have created public art projects, murals, and installations for fourteen years. In addition, I keep an active studio practice and regularly show in group exhibitions in traditional galleries and untraditional venues. I have invested in a home in Austin, Texas, which allowed me to create a live/work studio practice with my partner and be closer to family.
Public art is a core focus of my career. I am a 2024 National Mural Award winner for a large-scale mural in Austin, TX. I have completed multiple large-scale public works in Oakland, CA, and an upcoming project in Garland, TX. Atlassian, Twitch, Salesforce, CNN, Sentry, Simple Mills, Airbnb, Kore, and Scale are select companies that have commissioned commercial murals and fine art paintings. I have collaborated with Hungry Ghost Productions and Building 180 on dozens of large-scale mural installations. Throughout my career, I have honorably assisted notable artists such as Prairie Prince, Daniel Galvez, Sosakete, and Gay Outlaw with public works in Washington, Nevada, and California. I have dedicated a large part of my artistic practice to creating public art installations for wonderful community organizations such as the Chabot Space & Science Center, PangeaSeed, 826 Valencia, Attitudinal Healing Connection, Pomo Indian Cultural Center, Saint Francis Homelessness Challenge, and Paint the Void.
