Signwriter, watercolourist, art lover

The beauty that lies in the detail always captivated Lindsay. For decades he’d honed the art of signwriting, creating hand-painted lettering and designs. An art that’s largely been lost to a digital word, Lindsay loved the intricate and bespoke nature of his work.

Around his signwriting, he admits he was always “tinkering” with other creative pursuits like making things, painting and building model aeroplanes. But now retired, this creative tinkering has been able to blossom into much more.


You can now find Lindsay behind the easel, applying his detail-oriented eye to mastering the art of watercolour paintings. From Australian landscapes to portraits, Lindsay relishes in the time he has to explore and honour the process. “I usually spend about a week on a watercolor – one layer at a time, letting it dry,” says Lindsay. “I’ve gotten better with age.” Lindsay also loves sharing his new-found passion with fellow residents who come together to paint and draw in the craft room. From beginners to experienced creatives like Lindsay, it’s a hive of artistic energy.
