Steve Lindsay was born in Huntington, N.Y. in 1953. He grew up on the North Shore of Long Island, just outside New York City. In 1971, he graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and moved to New York City, where he worked as an apprentice cabinetmaker at the Pardini-Bertoli Fine Furniture Company and as a piano player at Loob's Beer and Eat.

In 1974, he moved to Canada, where he spent the next two years studying wood sculpture with Pierre Bourgault and Herman Raby at the École de Sculpture sur Bois in St. Jean-Port Joli, Quebec.

In 1976, he moved back to the States, eventually settling in the town of St. George on the coast of Maine. There he set up a studio, and began showing his sculpture around the Northeast.

He is best known for his direct carvings made from locally available wood and stone. He also makes woodcut prints. For the most part, his work is representational, and ranges from portraits to gargoyles, and from small delicate carvings to over-lifesize figures hewn from massive logs. He has to his credit a number of large commissioned works, both public and private.
