Lindsay acquired her BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design. She was a self-employed metal artist beginning in 1985 and was part of the American Arts and crafts movement of the late 80’s and early 90’s with an art piece on permanent collection at the White House and the governor’s mansion in Ohio. The majority of the works she sold then were done in metal, either soldered or welded. During that time, she spent 5 years serving on the board of Ohio Designer Craftsmen and networked part of her business through them. She sold many of her works through art galleries across the USA and Japan. She did many individual commissions and was also commissioned to do giftware design through Bath and Body Works, i.e., the Limited, in the year 2000.
In 2008, Lindsay went back to college to acquire another degree so she could try her hand at teaching high school art. She acquired a M.Ed. from U of A. She taught art at 6 different schools in AZ before retiring in 2022. In her last 4 years, she taught: Art 1, Advanced Art, AP Art, Ceramics, Advanced Ceramics, and Photography I, II, III, and IV (which was also producing the school’s yearbook). Several of her students were recipients of HAA Art scholarships. During her first year of teaching at public schools, she taught Graphic Design. All this time, she enjoyed making art with her students and building her illustration, drawing, and painting skills. During those teaching years she still accomplished a few commissions of steel sculptures. It started with the first commission from Norton Abrasives of creating the company’s mascot. It was a larger-than-life French bulldog named Cooper. Cooper resides at the company’s US headquarters in Brownsville TX. The mascot had long lines during one trade show of people wanting to take selfies with it. It was a hit and resulted in a personal commission for a couple in Los Angeles of another bulldog named Sebastian.
When Lindsay retired in 2022, she worked with an old friend in Ohio who is an author and performer on a children’s book. All the illustrations in the book including the cover were created by Lindsay. The book is for 0-8 year old children and is called “Sleep Little Raven”.
Lindsay has kept a blog since 2008 showing the progress of her works at www.curlycu.com.
In Lindsay’s words:
“Making art is like breathing; it is a must for my own survival and sanity.”

My Name is Rachel D’Onofrio, and my company is Rachel's Designs. I am a California Native American, my father is Acjachemen from San Juan Capistrano, and my mother is Diegueno from San Pasqual Native American Nation. I am currently living in Pahrump, Nevada. The benefits of living here just grew. For one, it was one of the first times since I was in college that I got to do what I really loved: my Art.
My Grandfather started teaching me when I was 7 years old. I got very lucky that my schools always had art forward programs. Then, I kept pursuing art in college. As a youth, I was raised as a white child, and because of this, I was never taught about my heritage. I am working as an artist/jewelry maker creating and selling my paintings mostly based on my visions of my heritage. I attended Palomar and the Art Institute of Southern California with a major in Illustration. So many things inspire me: things I see outside, other artists and crafters, and just a flash in my mind. Being around the community here and all the creativity here, with it being a smaller community, really helps as well -- another reason I feel at home here. With my illustrations, I believe I can educate through visual images, as well as some of our history and traditions. Being a versatile artist, I'm able to use a variety of media: oils, graphite, chalk pastels, pen and ink, jewelry tools and computers. It all helps me conquer any design creation needing to be done. The process always starts with an idea/inspiration that breathes special and unique life into a pencil and a piece of paper.
