Linda Van Tassell

Maine’s ever-changing seasons and weather produce a variety of visual and emotional moods. I aim to capture the breadth of these oscillations with a medium that is just as transformative: watercolor. Surrounded by water and beautiful scenes in my daily life, I strive to create works that incorporate old nautical objects in interpretations that go beyond still life and photorealism to elicit mood and memories.
