Piece description from the artist
This piece is made entirely from paper. The background is deli paper I painted with acrylics, giving a semi-transparent glow. The white lilacs each have dozens of pieces of white paper that I cut by hand (no, I don't own a punch). Some of the darker leaves are purchased mulberry paper, and others are cut from book pages I painted in various beautiful greens. The flowers are all made from the colors I find in old magazine paper. Finished with multiple coats of acrylic medium for protection.
Linda is a collage/mixed media artist, using primarily upcycled printed papers. She also incorporates vintage music, old books, discarded sewing patterns, and whatever else she finds.
Linda does not have a traditional art background, discovering her talent for collage only in her 50’s. She started making collages on a whim one summer and found she could not stop. Her technique is unusual, as she does not draw. She sees the piece in her head and starts looking for the right colors/textures to bring her creation to life. Then she picks up her trusty scissors and starts cutting!
Linda’s work has been featured in several Seattle galleries, and she also sells art at a wide variety of art festivals. She has one collage in the City of Seattle’s collection, and several in Childhaven’s collection. Last summer, she also had a collage in the Deep Dive show at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art.
