Alina Lindquist is a contemporary artist based in Las Vegas, known for her landscape paintings of the Mojave Desert.
She earned her Bachelor's degree in Anthropology, Art History, and Art from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2020 and will begin her MFA at UNLV this fall.
She has held artist residencies at The Mystery Ranch (Avi Kwa Ame National Monument), Great Basin National Park, and Valles Caldera National Preserve.
Alina's work originates in plein-air painting, with direct experience of the land that is expanded upon back in the studio. She often exaggerates the features of the landscape to emphasize its particular characteristics.
Her recent work explores the role of public lands, like that of Avi Kwa Ame National Monument, highlighting the significance of conservation efforts through visual storytelling.
