Linda Kegley Art
My Process
" I love working in acrylics. The vivid colors one can achieve are inspirational! I do use a layered approach when painting, and all areas of my finished paintings have multiple layers of paint. Look for wacky perspectives and riots of color in my works. I also create mixed media pieces with altered paper and various gel mediums."
"When creating abstract paintings, I paint from the inside out. Although I make deliberate choices about color, technique, line and form, my subconscious is the guide. I never know what will evolve and I love the unknown outcomes and freedom the process of painting provides me."
“I love the tremendous fun of creating art, and will always lean toward the whimsical, funky style and subject matter that make people feel happy and smile. My goal is that you connect with the freedom, color and energy of my work. If I can transport the viewer to a happy world for a few minutes, then I have achieved my goals. I like to think of my paintings as a run through the water sprinkler on a hot summer's day. I believe that the desire to surround oneself with happy art is universal.”
