Linda Plaisted is an award-winning, classically-trained American painter, fine art photographer, encaustic and mixed media artist. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. She has also illustrated book and magazine covers for major publishers and contributed to art and literary journals. As a pioneer in contemporary photomontage, each piece of artwork she creates tells a story. Layering by hand images she has captured in her original photography, drawings, paintings, ancestral images and collected ephemera, she creates digital mixed media pieces with subtle layers of meaning and dreamlike symbolism. Einstein said, “People who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Her work represents the layers of time bleeding through one another to create a thinly-veiled liminal space where our ancestors and ourselves exist simultaneously, creating new mythologies for the future.
