Artist You Should Know: Linda Plaisted




"Linda Plaisted is a classically trained painter, photographer and mixed media artist who has exhibited her work in galleries and museums throughout North America.
Her work is held in private and corporate collections worldwide. Each piece of artwork she creates is layered by hand with images she has captured in her photographs, drawings, paintings and collected ephemera. Her delight in nature and the unique ability to conjure mood from the simplest of compositions is evident in her work." -- Manymuses

"Recapture that carefree spirit with the work of local artist Linda Plaisted of Manymuses Studio... Plaisted captures images that she tints and layers with bright colors and vintage-cast borders to create retro scenes that would fit right into a Tim Burton set. You can also find more haunting images: open fields, hovering crows, and Civil War battlefields, often with old, dust-covered viewfinders." -- DailyCandy


I am in love with her work and if I had the extra cash I would so buy one. I think I will have to settle for a new desktop wallpaper for now. Her "Four and Twenty Blackbirds" gallery is amazing and definitely inspiring. As an artist who thrives on mixed media, remixing and appropriation, it was a breath of fresh air.
