Meet the Business Owner: Linda M.
After working 22 years, Linda left corporate America to develop herself as an artist. After earning an AFA, she continued developing her skills in classes and workshops. Connecting to her passion for nature, she worked for several years in clay, making sculptures and reliefs. In her quest to make two dimensional art with clay, she discovered clay monoprints, training with Mitch Lyons, the artist known internationally for pioneering the process.
Whether painting or working in clay, she strives to capture the emotion and energy she feels when creating a piece. True success is when the piece also evokes an emotional response in the viewer. In her paintings and clay monoprints, it is achieved with color, texture and subject matter. In her sculptures, they are usually figurative, the emotive aspect is strong. Her work also has movement and flow, a "dance" with the medium. Her sculptures of dancers are not as much about dancing as they are about freedom, inhibition and confidence.
