Linda C. Everson
RESUME
[click here]
Seemingly disconnected
backgrounds formed Linda C. Everson's art career. Linda
was raised in North Dakota in a woodworking family, instinctively
doing artwork as a child. She first experienced art
classes at University of North Dakota where she graduated with a major in Fine
Arts. Subsequently, Linda was a graphic designer in the
fashion industry in New York, where she gained
additional exposure to the fine arts by exploring the
contemporary art scene in Soho and the uptown museums.
Post-graduate studies were completed at multiple venues,
and printmaking (with photographic components) is her
primary medium. However Linda also does some shaped
paintings, mixed media work, bookmaking, and paper arts
as well.
The confluence of her ND roots, NY
experiences, and the Colorado landscape has impacted
Linda's aesthetics. Also, traveling
the US and the world extensively has given her insight
into various sights, cultures, artifacts, and
architecture which have influenced the textural imagery,
symbolism, and jewel-like palette in her artwork.
Because she's an avid outdoor's person living in
Colorado, textures from nature are photographed and
incorporated in her prints in a very abstract manner.
Close-up
photography of Aspen tree bark markings has led to her
own invented calligraphic language in a monoprint series
called "Arborglyphs."
Linda was involved in several art
memberships, including an art co-op. For several years,
she was the Co-President and Co-Chair for Exhibitions of
the Women’s Caucus for Art / Colorado Chapter. In these
capacities, she curated several of the WCACO art shows.
It was in these venues that she explored other art
mediums, concepts, and themes. Her artwork has been
shown locally, nationally, and internationally. She has
won several art awards, been published, and has done
several public art commissions.
