Description

About Linda: Linda Lancz was influenced early on by her father’s watercolor paintings of New England. She studied art in college, and eventually became influenced by social changes, social justice, & anthropology. This led her to a strong concern with, and the commercial destruction of, the environment and the planet. After years of working in traditional artist materials, Linda was further influenced by Printmaking and the Digital Revolution in Art. She took to both mediums and now combines photos, collages, monotypes and her own artwork in the computer. Linda’s work has evolved so it is no longer restricted exclusively to either the world of painting, printmaking or photography. Linda discovered she could create works of art with all three. Of this current exhibit, Linda says, "These works are from the Urbana series and some from a series called Florescence, showing the natural beauty of flowers and plants. In the Urbana series I photograph the commercialism in cities such as traffic and advertising signs and reduce them to graphic images. However I began to see beauty in the abstracted graphic designs.” Linda has exhibited her work widely in the New England region and has received numerous awards for her creations.
