Linda Jaekel is an abstract artist living near me in Ithaca, New York. Her work has a lot of texture, which she achieves by using various tools other than brushes to paint with.
Stratosphere, 24" x 18"
Linda grew up in the San Francisco and New York City areas and has been making art since she was a young child. She won her first art contest at the age of five from the San Francisco Chronicle.
Linda says, "I explore the ways of creating a peaceful beauty out of chaos, but I leave a portion of chaos for the viewer to use to create their own story. "
Linda currently works with acrylic paints on canvas and paper. You can find her paintings on her own website, or at Vangoart.com.
