Quick gestures and fluid color lead her paintings toward unexpected and often surprising results. While experimentation sometimes brings disappointment, the energy of color continues to inspire her creative journey. She focuses primarily on abstract compositions, believing nature is too beautiful to simply reproduce. Her work invites viewers into imagined worlds—suggesting galaxies, ocean depths, or wooded landscapes—while leaving space for personal interpretation. A Signature Member of the International Society of Experimental Artists, she continually explores innovative techniques and expressive uses of color and design. Working with water media, pastels, charcoal, and handmade papers sourced from around the world, she creates layered mixed-media collages that evolve organically without a predetermined plan. Teaching is an important part of her artistic life, encouraging experimentation, open discussion, and new ways of creative expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e31ac354c0dcc6f49c52d0f/1581649614371-CKWTFJLAACP6X6S5WP6I/Nude.jpg Instructors - John Power email: powerart11@gmail.com phone: 908-377-6592 John Power studied at the Art Students League under the master draftsman Gustav Rehberger.

Collage papers are painted individually which then come together to create one large cohesive piece. Each piece is unique and embellished with drips, splashes, and subtle transparent layers to create depth and amazing detail. Many pieces are mounted on wooden panels which are then glazed with a beautiful glass like epoxy resin coat creating a brilliant finish and a magnificent shine. Linda’s inspiration comes from the world around her (especially nature) always focusing on pattern and texture. Her intuitive painting style is continually evolving as she experiments with new mediums to expand her artistic creativity. Linda lives in Northern New Jersey. Her work has been displayed in numerous exhibitions, art galleries, juried art shows and have found their way into many private homes.

In this class, you’ll explore the intuitive process of collage inspired by the principles of SoulCollage® - an approach that transforms found images into deeply meaningful works of art. Through cutting, layering, and assembling, you’ll create a personal deck of collaged cards that capture the many facets of your personality, experiences, and creative spirit. Each session offers a welcoming, judgment-free space to experiment with color, composition, and symbolism as you let your intuition guide your artistic choices. Whether you’re brand new to SoulCollage® or a seasoned practitioner, this 6-week class meets you where you are - inviting newcomers to begin creating their deck while offering experienced participants the space to deepen, expand, and evolve their existing cards and practice. By the end of the class series, you’ll have a deck of expressive collage cards and the insight to use them as a source of artistic inspiration, journaling prompts, or personal reflection. Eileen West is a trained SoulCollage® Facilitator and member of MCAA.
