Meet and greet with local artist Linda Hansen - Redamonti. Linda’s “Sky Series” was inspired by her youth in Northern California. The landscapes have had a strong influence on her art. She grew up around acres of farmland divided into rows of carefully placed, colorful crops. Since much of Northern California is farmland surrounded by mountain ranges, the sky is often the largest part of the landscape, which has a spectacular, commanding personality. Since moving to Connecticut, Linda loves admiring the lovely skies of New England — they are just as full of expressions as the California skies. She enjoys painting them in her artistic interpretations, using complimentary color combinations with dramatic movements throughout her paintings. Linda hopes that others will see the beauty of the sky as she does.

You’ll incorporate natural and dried materials to include: preserved mosses, lichens, ferns, florals, driftwood, mushrooms & additional botanical elements!

• The different varieties of mosses
