Artwork
Part of artist Linda Klein's Just Breathe series, created with her own unique process for distinctly layering watercolors to build texture, depth, and dimension. The piece maintains her quest to give new life to litter and junk mail, using these collaged elements to define the composition. Linda says this painting was particularly inspired by a poem by Nayyirah Waheed:
If
the ocean
can calm itself,
so can you.
We
are both
saltwater
mixed with
air.

Linda Klein is an eco-conscious mixed media artist from California. She applies her passion for the environment to her work. “Many of my collaged tree pieces are created with bits of litter that I clean up off of scenic highways,” Linda says. “Each painting contributes to cleaning up our planet and turns ‘trash into trees.’” By repurposing litter as collage material, Linda dutifully reminds her viewers that recycling is key to a thriving future. The artist lives in Marin County, where she feels grateful to have inherited her mother-in-law’s large art studio that is always filled with light.
Hi M Kotadia, Thank you for the compliments to my work. Much appreciated. I have 4 or 5 pieces exhibiting through Thursday January 4th at the Bay Area Metro Center in SF- https://www.bayareametrocenter.com/ It's a beautiful building, if you have never been. UGallery has several Artists, including myself, displayed in the main lobby right now. It all comes down on the 5th, so I hope you can squeeze in a visit before then. Enjoy! Thank you again & Happy New Year! Linda Klein
Would love to see your art work. Where is it displayed in San Francisco?
