Linda is a multi media artist. She has been a weaver of natural fiber prior to watercolor. Watercolor painting has opened the door to new challenges in art for her and allowed her to see nature in more vibrant hues. She enjoys the challenge of capturing design and motion as is evident in her train work. Besides being an active member of the Greenbrier Artists, Linda has studied watercolor and pastels with internationally acclaimed artists. PBS discovered her fiber work and her baskets were featured on numberous cooking shows. Linda can be contacted at lcomeaux@verizon.net or through this site.

Artist Statement:

"For me, art has opened an appreciative outlook on how other see our world. Because of art our world may survive through the meaningful expressions nature and our soul."

Artist Statement

I primarialy paint in transparent watercolor, sometimes incorporating ink and collage. The natural environmental has a great influence on my life and my work, and natural elements appear in most of my paintings. I love the challenge of experimenting with new ideas and the adventure of moving to the next artistic level.

Another fund raiser for the group is the mini-slate paintings. The paintings are all original and done by the individual artists. Many of the mini-slate paintings are of historical sites of the City of Lewisburg or West Virginia. They are a favorites of tourists to our area.

One of the ways the group raises money to sponsor work shops for the members is through the sale of an annually published calendar. The calendar features 12 images of individual members work. The calendars are printed on heavy linen stock and each month's image is suitable for framing. For additional information regarding the calendars, please contact Pamela Gatens at 304-653-4510.

Critiques are an important part of improving our work. Everyone enjoy participating.
