Lindsay Sheldon began creating The Paper Darlings by pure serendipity. One summer's day she gathered her art supplies and sat by the Capitol to sketch the landmark, but after failing at the first try, she changed course and whipped up a small painting of three friends sitting next to each other in swimsuits.

She held it up to the Capitol’s reflecting pool, snapped a photo and shared it. People began referring to the painted sunbathers as paper dolls and soon after The Paper Darlings was born. Now over six years later, her paintings have found homes across the globe and she continues to create new works as a mixed media artist, incorporating watercolor, ink, acrylic, oil and wax pastels into her art.
