Bio
Lizzy Hindman-Harvey, born in 1980 in Philadelphia, PA, is a multidisciplinary artist primarily known for her work in branding, printmaking, public art, and landscape installations. Lizzy has garnered recognition for her creative direction, contributions to landscape and public art projects, and, more recently, her distinctive body print monotypes on paper. Lizzy brings a diverse and professional skill set and perspective to her artistic endeavors with a background encompassing roles as a creative director, landscape architect, graphic/web designer, and product manager specializing in web design tooling.
The essence of Lizzy's artistic vision lies in documenting bodily sensations that narrate stories of perception, orientation, and emotion. Her body print monotypes, in which she uses her body as her medium, are just beginning to develop. Her mark-making approach symbolically uses the monotype, a method that illustrates the iterative and repetitive ways a body processes the phenomena of the remarkable and the everyday. This work has already been featured in the Silent Academy web publication. Lizzy has previous experience creating art for a public space. Along with Jake Beckman, she was selected to create a permanent installation, "Carried Across," for the Smilow Center for Translational Medicine.
Her extensive professional experience enriches Lizzy Hindman-Harvey's artistic vision. For almost a decade, she was a Creative Director and Product Manager at Splashthat.com. There, she led a high-performing team of designers to consult with over 50 percent of the Fortune 500 brands worldwide, such as National Geographic, Meta, MoMA, Amazon, Google, MIT, Airbnb, Coach, Sundance Film Festival, The NBA, Microsoft, Salesforce, NPR, The Atlantic, Comcast, The New York Times, TikTok, MAC Cosmetics, and Adobe. For five years before that, Lizzy was a landscape architect working on built projects in Philadelphia, notably the Temple University Landscape Masterplan and the Schuylkill River Trail. For many of these years, Lizzy also taught design and other courses. This breadth of experience informs Lizzy's artistic practice, infusing it with executive-level professionalism and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
Lizzy Hindman-Harvey's work is held in esteemed institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania and The Rhode Island School of Design. With her innovative approach and dedication to exploring the nuances of human experience, Lizzy Hindman-Harvey continues to make impactful contributions to the contemporary art scene.
