LINDA PALMER

Working with prismacolor pencils, oils and watercolors, Linda Palmer brings sensibility to her work that results in powerful abstract compositions based upon elements of nature.

“The diversity in nature, unusual land configurations, weather variations, subtle color and value changes, the many abstract elements, and most importantly the emotional response to a particular place are the inspiration for my work.”

Palmer’s landscapes and “treescapes” have been featured in a host of universities, galleries and art centers throughout the world. Her work was included in a two-year touring exhibit featuring Arkansas artists in Germany, the first exhibit of Arkansas artists to tour in a European country. Palmer’s work has also been honored with inclusion in Delta Exhibits, the Berol Prismacolor Art Gallery National Invitational, Celebrating Arkansas Artists in Washington, D.C. and the Arkansas Artists’ Presidential Inauguration Exhibit in Washington, D.C. Her drawings and paintings have been included in many private and corporate collections including: Phillips Petroleum Company, Peat Marwick Mitchell & Co.; Worthen Bank & Trust of Oklahoma; Baptist Hospital in Little Rock; Hendrix College; Fort Smith Art Center; Fort Smith Convention Center, and others.
