Lynda Goldberg.

Lyndas work is informed by nature. Whether working at the coast, in the colors of autumn, in the freshness of spring, or in the radiance of sunlight.

Lyndas monotypes, oils, pastels, and watercolors focus on nature and her fascination with it. Her prints are one-of-a-kind; using monotype, monoprint, or collagraph techniques. Lynda starts with an idea or feeling which she then expresses in textures and colors using natural and manmade found objects. Lynda is a tactile person, always touching things and feeling their texture. Because she is a printmaker she will see an item's potential by how it might appear after color and pressure have been applied. When possible, she will apply paint to both sides of an object and use it in different ways in several prints. For example: Lynda will print the original print, then use the "ghosted" plate, also use the other side of the object and use the "ghost of the ghost" if there is enough color/texture left, etc. It is the unlimited possibilities and uncertainty of what exactly will appear (in addition to the image being the reverse of what one worked on) that makes the monotype process so exciting. Each print is unique and the result of an adventure. 

Lynda is inspired and in awe of nature. In her prints she tries to recreate this feeling using natural objects such as leaves, ferns, grasses, seaweed. Sometimes I will take an object and cut or crush it to simulate another natural object. For example: stringy seaweed can become a tree, crushed eggshells can become stars, etc.
Lynda loves nature and the natural world and tries to communicate that love in her prints.
