Artist of the Month
Linda Mellen
I am truly honored to be chosen as the Artist of the Month!
I started painting ten years ago but have always been interested in art. I began painting when I joined a weekly painting group with a small group of wonderful women lead by Diana Hampe. There is always Andrea Bocelli playing in the background for us which makes the class very enjoyable. I paint with water - based oil, watercolor and acrylic. I like to paint landscapes and scenes from my travels, flowers, birds and sometimes eyeballs! My current painting that I am working on, is a landscape from Tuscany, Italy.
Many years ago I took a few pottery and sculpture classes which I really enjoyed. I was awarded a scholarship to Mudflat Studio, which was then in Cambridge. I later took a few wheel-throwing courses at Henriette Dresden’s studio in Norwood…”
