Studio 14

Lindsay Radford Wiggins graduated from Columbia College with a Studio Art Degree in 2011. Originally from Montgomery, Alabama she now considers Columbia home after living here 23 years. 

She works full-time in histology and paints as much as she can when she is not working in the lab. She is a multi-media artist and photographer. Watercolor on paper has been her most recent obsession. 

Wiggins’ most recent body of work is inspired by mediation, walks in nature, and her beloved poodle, Ziggy. Her paintings embody a spiritual authenticity with her own signature whimsical flair. Influenced by German expressionism and women surrealists, her work speaks to the artist’s personal experiences, connections, and emotions, making each piece a diary-like entry of celestial swirls. 

The playful imagery and repetition of symbols invites the viewer to call upon their own life experience and create their own personal dialog. Wiggins’ work has been exhibited at numerous SC venues, including 701 Whaley, Koger Center of the Arts, and Trustus Theater. Her paintings are represented in many private collections, and she was featured on the cover of Jasper Magazine’s spring 2022 issue and on the cover of Kristine Hartvigsen’s book The Soulmate Poems.
