Artist Statement:
Linda Bussell grew up in San
Diego and has lived in
Southern California for most
of her life, with the
exception of several years
spent in Hawaii. She earned
her BFA in Painting from the
University of Hawaii at Manoa.
As a painter, she works
primarily in oils and mixed
media. In recent years she has
become fascinated with the
encaustic medium because of
the texture and translucency
that it affords. Her subject
matter ranges from
non-representational to
abstracted organic forms,
intimate landscape motifs,
garden elements, interiors,
and the humble beauty of
everyday objects.
Some recent work has focused
on small, natural souvenirs
such as seed pods, bones, and
shells. A key focus in these
works is on the beauty and
intriguing complexity of the
small, ordinary, and often
overlooked, which inspire
reflections on life, passage
of time, rebirth, hope,
continuity, and adaptation.
"While I sometimes work alla
prima for studies, a more
typical approach is to build
up layers of paint that
alternately obscure and reveal
underlying layers. Part of me
sees this as a metaphor for
life, reflecting my shifting
perspectives as I allow new
viewpoints to emerge. The
other part reflects the kid
who simply likes ...
