Featured Artist: Linda Chamberlain

At first glance Linda Chamberlain's paintings are lighthearted and fun, with a hint of the Arts and Crafts Movement, but eavesdropping in her art fair booth you will hear patrons talking Art Fair Calendar.comabout the "dark side" of the work comparing it to that of Maurice Sendak. This makes you pause, take another look and see beneath the surface. "Good Day" Is it only birds and children, or is it more? Childlike figures lead us to the path of our own introspective journey. The naivete and sweetness belie and explore what is underneath. Or, as Linda says, "humorous work requires some dark side. To be successful and memorable it must be about more than butterflies." Linda's art fair career spans more than thirty years. Beginning as a weaver as a way to keep her family together after her young husband died she has progressed through wearables, doll making, found object sculpture and most recently mixed media painting.
