Three New Magazine Covers With my Silk Paintings!

I was contacted by Natural Awakenings and asked if I would allow them to use 3 of my silk paintings on their magazine covers. The three covers will be used in different geographical areas. They also wrote up a bio which will appear inside the magazine.

 

Below is a copy of the bio which will be printed in each of the magazines

Bridge at the Green

      by Linda Marcille

Linda Marcille’s paintings on silk, mostly

whimsical vignettes of rural and urban

life in New England, are meant to inspire

happy, healing emotions. All are filled

with a sense of joy and lightness.

Marcille has been drawn to the

mysterious and distinctive qualities of silk

painting, an ancient Asian art form, since

the late 1990s. “There is a serendipitous

quality to painting on silk with dyes,” she

explains. “The process never allows the

artist to be fully in control or to know

exactly the effect that will be created.”

The artist hopes that the powerful

healing force she experiences while

painting will be shared by viewers of her

work. Her own 10-year battle with an

autoimmune disease led her to found the

internationally respected Lyme Awareness

Art Project, which encourages

advanced Lyme sufferers to use creativity

as part of their healing process.

Marcille chose her studio name,

Crow House, to inspire hope, as well.

“In Native American legend, the crow

represents an omen of change and is a

shape-shifter,” she advises. “Crow medicine

encourages people to shape-shift

their old realities into their future self.”
