Linda Mitchell, a native Atlantan, earned MFAs in both Painting and Sculpture from GSU. Her current series of mixed media paintings and installations are populated by animals, both real and imagined. In these narrative works, they often become surrogates for human beings and their emotional lives. The highly textured pieces employ painted and photographic images, fabric, wood, and glass. They coalesce into intricate and surreal scenes, reflecting life’s emotional complexity. Poetic meaning emerges from the broken, the castoff, and the unassuming. Ephemeral, unexpected beauty is embodied in images of flowers, paper boats, and autumn leaves. Visit www.lindamitchellartist.com
