Lindley Joy is an Oklahoma-based artist, grief guide, and death doula whose work explores sorrow, beauty, ritual, and transformation through visual art, performance, floral sculpture, and immersive expression. Her practice is rooted in the belief that pain is not something to bypass, but something to witness with tenderness, curiosity, and care.

Drawing from a lifelong background in performance and a deeply personal relationship with loss, Lindley creates work that honors grief as a living, creative force. She is especially interested in the places where mourning and meaning-making meet — where gesture, color, flowers, memory, sound, and presence become portals for connection.

Alongside her artistic practice, Lindley works as a death doula and grief companion. These roles are not separate from the art, but part of the same devotion: creating spaces where people can tell the truth, feel what they feel, and encounter beauty in the midst of tenderness, rupture, and change.
