About

Lindsay Carlton is a visual artist and educator working in photography, video art, and interdisciplinary studio art. She holds an MFA in Creative Photography from the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL) and a BA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (Wilmington, NC). Carlton currently serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Santa Fe College, where she teaches art appreciation, art fundamentals, and photography. Carlton’s artistic practice uses self-portraiture and character performance to investigate the monstrous feminine as both a spectacle and a cinematic archetype. Her work remixes elements of idealized femininity with abjection and humor, drawing from horror aesthetics, feminist theory, and internet culture to examine contemporary culture and digital media.

 

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL), Art Center Sarasota (Sarasota, FL), Hera Gallery (South Kingstown, RI), and Laboratorio Artístico (Cosenza, Italy). She also served as the 2025–2026 Artist-in-Residence at 4Most Gallery (Gainesville, FL), where she contributed to exhibition programming and curatorial projects.
