Linda Kelson was born in Boston , Mass and attended the Art Institute of
Boston. She obtained her degree in Fine Arts from Fairleigh
Dickinson
University. She has been painting and selling her work in San Diego
since
1983. Her preferred subjects are animals, people and abstract
landscapes.
But the real subject of each piece is always color. The color of
each work
is used not only to express the personality of the subject and the
emotional
content of the story, but is used to evoke specific feelings from the
viewer. "I love to experiment with the way colors interact with each
other -
the way they can change each other, and the way they can change the
way we
feel about something." Most of the works are on canvas and in oils.
Although many utilize mixed media combining oil paint with oil
pastels and
metal leaf. Linda and her husband have been active animal rights
activists
for many years. All of the proceeds from her current series of animal paintings are being donated to San Diego Animal Advocates. |
