Linda Ricklefs Baudry
Artist’s statement:
I make my mark, using color as emotion, creating a space that invites contemplation. Exploring the richness of color and playing with the vibrancy of life, I search beyond what the eye sees to find the inner celebration. From bold backlit profiles and deep shadows to ethereal shifting assumptions, I am continually intrigued with nature’s dual aspects of fragility and strength.
