Linda LaVigne-Long
Linda Vignes Long (LaVigne) doesn't see a field, mountain, hay bales,
or an iris. To her, these are patterns, shapes, color design
combinations and textures to be placed into paper, canvas, clay, wood
or any medium she can modify to accept it. Growth as an artist has
developed an ability to use a wide variety of media to do that and to tap
the creativity within herself.
Linda began painting as an adolescent using the most intriguing
shapes, colors, and textures available at home - blue water, white
beaches and sea gulls around the nets and rigging of Biloxi's shrimp
boats.
Later, while completing art studies at the University of Southern
Mississippi, she favored on-site watercolors of dirt roads and cotton
field shacks and also began to use some pure abstraction. While
there, she also received the offer of a lifetime from Bryan to take her to
find some shapes across the big muddy river. Accepting, she began
with a Louisiana bayou winter scene that froze into crystals as she
painted it, delighting them both.
After that, anything was possible, so she tried to do it all - everywhere!
Some of it is here for you to also enjoy.
