Paynterly is an artist crafting surreal & joyful creations that reveal a journey of self-discovery and mental health.

Hello! I'm Lyndsey Paynter, an NKY native artist from Covington, KY. My work reflects my journey of self-discovery and unmasking my true self, along with my mental health struggles. While I started in photography, I found my true passion in drawing, creating both serious pieces and whimsical creatures that I turned into prints and stickers. Through my art, I aim to offer acceptance and joy, connecting with viewers on a personal level.
