Artist's Statement:
I believe in art created with expression and passion. I am inspired by the world
around me. Although I often work with a variety of subjects, a commonality in all of
my art is the significance to me. People, expressions and the language of the body
intrigue me. I am inspired by food itself, and as a way of bringing people together.
In this way, and through my family, I am drawn to the restarurant industry and the
hard work and heart it requires by all involved. I am moved by the comfort, expressions,
and individual personalities of the animals who are so dear to us. I respect the escape
from hectic life provided by nature and landscapes. Finally, I am inspired by God for
giving me eyes to see and the heart to create.
Linda Lindeborg
Linda Lindeborg did her undergraduate studies in studio arts at Virginia's Madison
College, now James Madison University. As two dimensional studio work proved
to be her forte, she continued her education at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with
emphasis on illustration and graphic design. What followed was a 25-year,
award winning career in commercial art until the time came for her to refocus her
energy and talent toward fine art. Linda and her husband Rik moved from
Atlanta to coastal Georgia in 1998 and she quickly gained a regional reputation
painting marine and coastal images, primarily in watercolor. By 2002, she
had expanded the focus of her painting to include oil media works, rural southern
images and abstracted multi media works which maintain her signature contemporary
realist identity.

with Wild Apple Graphics, which is an international graphics and licensing company. Her
role is to create artwork that is then produced into posters and other home décor
products. This art work is designed to meet home décor trends and is marketed globally.
Artist's Statement:
My newest body of work encompasses word play and phrases as an integral part of the
paintings. The paintings are all about the titles. I am currently in my fifth year of
creating bird paintings. My newest birds are "made-up" as were my past, and the message
of relationships is still often revisited but with a lyrical approach, the tone has more
to do with the irony of life or gesturing with play on words. My birds have become very
simplified. Sometimes the expression or mood is only hinted by the bird's body stance,
other times a very detailed eye reveals much of the bird's thoughts. These paintings are
not tricky or complicated; actually they are intended to be accessible and approachable.
Each bird character touches on aspects of real life personalities. My birds "wear their
emotions on their beak."
Ingrid Bolton
Born and reared in Germany, Ingrid also lived in Switzerland, the Philippines
and nine different US States before settling with her family in the Atlanta area.
In 2002, she received a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts (Magna Cum Laude) from
North Georgia College and State University. Further, she studied with accomplished
and nationally known artists including Marc Chatov, Ann Templeton (OPA), Anita
Lentz, Lala Mulherin Street and, just recently in Spain, with Calvin Liang (OPA, PAPA).
Ingrid is a member of the Dunwoody Fine Arts Association, (Atlanta, GA) the Artisans
of Flowery Branch (Flowery Branch, GA). Her paintings have been accepted in
various juried Atlanta area exhibits, have won several awards and hang in private
and public collections.
Artist's Statement:
As I am exploring the fascinating and challenging world of creating art, I find
myself on the most exciting journey of my life. My "Golden Years" provide the
perfect opportunity to finally nurture my life-long artistic longings and to
realize a dream of being an artist. Oil painting is my primary interest although
I do work at times in various mediums such as acrylics and branch out into other
artforms i.e. creating Pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs). Oils allow me to express
harmony through their rich and deep satin-like properties, while acrylics, provide
spontaneity, hence, infusing greater energy to my work. Whether painting landscapes,
flowers, animals, portraits or anything that surrounds me, I strive for an artistic
interpretation that captures the spirit, beauty or mood of the moment.
Amy Michelle
Amy Michelle is an up and coming new artist in the Atlanta area. Originally from
Michigan, she developed her interest in art at an early age with a natural ability
to express her personality in her work using bold colors, textures, layers, vintage
materials; like sheet music, old books and other unusual finds to create her mixed
media pieces.
Within each piece, Amy incorporates a small message that she hopes will have meaning
to its future owner with most of her work being done with a pallet knife; she
creates the texture she desires.
Amy's studio is in her home in Cumming, Georgia. She is a member of the Alpharetta
Art Guild. Donating artwork regularly to local silent auctions for charitable causes
such as the Georgia SPCA, Junior Achievement, Relay for Life to name a few, is
something she feels is a great way to give back. Her work can currently be seen at
vboggs Galleries in Suwanee, Georgia.
Artist's Statement:
We all have an artistic side or something we want to express for others to see.
It is so amazing to me when someone comes along and falls in love with something I
created; an expression of my feelings and passion on canvas... that is the ultimate
feeling for an artist.
