Linda E Green, a pastel landscape artist, is the artist of the month at the
Gilded Dolphin Studios and Gallery at 5 South Second St.The gallery and
studios are above the Villa Villekulla toy store. Her work will be
featured during the Artrageous ArtWalk on Saturday, August 8th with a
reception from 5:30pm-8:30 pm. She will have new work on exhibit including “Distant Rain,” which was inspired by a trip to Darien, GA where she observed the effect of weather on clouds over the Altamaha River. Also on view will be, “Before Texting, Madrid, NM” which was inspired by a recent visit to this quaint town on the Turquoise Trail.
Linda works exclusively in soft pastels, which are experiencing a
renaissance in fine art. “The intense color and texture of pastel is like no other medium,” she observed.”The colors do not need time to dry and do not change after application.” Linda works with archival materials to ensure thelongevity of her work. “I love looking at all the different colors in Linda’s big pastel boxes!” says gallery director, Lynne Pilkerton.
Before moving to Fernandina Beach three years ago, Linda studied art at
various community schools in NJ including extensive study at The New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts in Summit. As a retired pastor, Linda also teaches a course at the gallery that teaches guides participants to integrate their spirits and their creativity in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
Linda loves her studio that has wide views of the marina downtown. She also loves her fun art colleagues with whom she shares the space. For more information, contact Linda at 201-315-2709 or [email protected].
