unorthodoxicons

Announcement    Gallery of Lindy Gifford's digital montages combining original photographs of patterns in nature with space art & old black and white images in fine art prints on paper and canvas. The combinations make for distinctive, eye-catching, yet affordable, contemporary art for the home or office. Lindy creates her unorthodox icons by combining more than one of her own nature photographs—including pictures of flowers, trees, water, rock, butterflies, clouds, and shells—together, and with NASA images of the earth and the universe, old engravings, and her original paintings or pen and ink drawings. In the process, she creates inspired art for a modern iconography worthy of a more sustainable world.

Intimate portraits of the changing colors of the seasons in New England and textures and patterns in nature are at the heart of Lindy Gifford's "green" art, often blended in digital montages with iconic images of the planet Earth itself and Hubble telescope views of the Universe. All the colors of nature are then sometimes combined with old black and white images, in the form of Victorian engravings as well as more ancient and archetypal symbols. But we also know that humor is as essential as any other important part of life, so unorthodox icons often contain some ironic images and gentle tongue in cheek humor and might even occasionally stray into the arena of political humor.

All unorthodox icons are high quality, highly affordable art—giclee prints created with archival quality inks on acid free paper and canvas—so they'll last a lifetime without breaking the bank. All are signed by Lindy Gifford, the artist: some are open editions and some are limited editions. Many are available framed or unframed. Several items can be personalized for a very thoughtful gift or a memento of a special occasion.

This is art that makes you feel good while you can feel good about buying it.
