The Purple Pomegranate, a fine craft specialty store, is
featuring work by Kalispell artist, Linda Christensen during the month of May. Linda
has worked as a full time professional artist since 1992. Painting with a
combination of surrealism, expressionism and realism and using symbols to
communicate the nuances of what she sees, Linda is currently creating paintings
based on her dreams and visions.

Linda speaks about her work, "I see paintings as I
listen to the world. Messages emerge through dreams and visions.
The waking dream and sleeping dream are equally powerful in this time of
transition on the earth. The shift from domination of the masculine mind
to the feminine heart impacts my dreaming as it impacts the earth.
My dreams flow through my watercolor paintings in playful symbolism."
Linda feels that watercolors express her visions and dreams in glowing,
transparent layers or in vibrant opaque color. She expresses emotion
through the vast possibility of watercolor technique. Flowing colors
create a feeling of movement. Free and mingling paint permits the
imagination to flow. Transparency portrays illusion. Dark
opacity indicates strength, power and surety.
Meet Linda during
Whitefish Gallery Night, Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 from 6-9 PM. Her work will be
displayed during the opening and throughout the month of May.
