ARTIST STATEMENT
I translate universal
spiritual truths into abstract paintings that speak to others,
regardless of their traditions.
All cultures throughout the ages have
created spiritual art—my ethereal abstraction and soulful conceptual
work brings up-to-date the oldest theme in art, the spiritual. While my
provocative paintings have specific meaning to me, I underlie my
transcendent illuminations with cross-cultural sensibilities to ignite
spiritual curiosity and unique experiences for all.
Linda
