Lindy Allen has worked in the arts since the mid-1970s, as a performer and musician playing bass guitar with The Whittle Family, Olympic Sideburns, Agents and Dust on the Bible. A practising photographer for most of her adult life, Lindy completed a Photojournalism major at La Trobe University as part of a Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2012 and draws on these skills to create digital documentation. In 2018 Lindy's photographs formed an exhibition, Skin and Storytelling, at Favor & Grace café in Laverton. Her images documented the process of creating a tattoo design of the West Gate Bridge and the application of the tattoo, visually exploring how skin can be a personal canvas where important stories are told.
