Linda Anne Weber

Linda Ann Weber’s work has evolved from abstract intuitive painting to paintings that include use of mixed media that creates depth, and builds layers of history and texture. She has always had a love of color, pattern, and typography and these play a large role in her work. Most of this comes from her graphic design background. Linda collects or creates images and typography while incorporating handmade textiles and papers to create her signature collage technique. Her process is still intuitive, but themes of current social issues, historical influence, and even pop culture have made its way into her work.

Linda’s process is very serendipitous, whereby she usually works on several paintings at a time. She starts with drawing and mark-making on canvas or paper; she calls this her playtime because she let whatever she’s feeling come out. Then she moves to collage or paint. There is a back and forth of painting, mark-making and collage until a history of layers and texture are built up. Experimentation throughout is an important part of the process - it gives the painting life and energy. Linda also experiments with a variety of tools, mediums and techniques as she works. The process continues until the final composition comes together.

Linda graduated from Illinois State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Art. She has had a successful career as a graphic designer and creative director in her field.
