Lindsay McAuley grew up living close to nature on a sheep and cattle station in outback Queensland, Australia, where he first acquired an interest in astronomy, art and metaphysics. A career in the film industry and photography helped develop creative skills. As an extension to his artistic nature, he obtained a certificate in art and went on to win awards as a visual artist and in film making. A prolific creator, his talents are diverse. He has written several plays and now, an author, completed a book entitled, ‘The Lost World of the Maya.’ This research both challenges and expands history’s understanding of the Maya civilisation. About to be released is a romance novel, ‘Scent of a Lion,’ set in South Korea. In development, a children’s educational book, The Adventures of Kanga, the Kangaroo, based in Cambodia. He has also written research reports on subjects as diverse as anatomy, astronomy and mathematics. Lindsay’s artwork has featured in several group and solo art exhibitions, including a fine-art photography exhibition entitled Skyharp. This project documents the changing light of the natural environment and its effect on an outdoor metallic sculpture which aligned with the equinox and the solstice. The exhibit included an audio recording, an aeolian harp, sound made by the wind influencing the sculpture. A documentary on its construction was produced, (Perfect Almost). A research report detailing a method of accurately calculating the mathematics of planetary orbits, using geometry formed part of the artwork presentation. Restless by nature, Lindsay has travelled to 42 countries across all seven continents of the world. Combining this varied background with an artistic sensibility and influenced by a social conscience, has compelled him to undertake a project involving world peace and disarmament. Entitled, A Peace of Metal, the concepts involves the participation of all the member states of the United Nations.
