Artist Statement:
I consider myself a by-product
of the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago and, most
recently, the Haystack
Mountain School of Crafts.
My arting has to do with
whatever is in front of me at
the time...and is as vital as
eating, sleeping, and
breathing for me. ...

David and Judith Rozelle
Dear Ms. Kellen:Your artist's statement refers to your spending your days live trapping...color. Generally speaking, we disapprove of trapping of any sort. But in your case, Ms. Kellen, trap on...please!

nancy kelen
such beautiful colors! ur right, looking at these paintings makes me almost forget 'bout the world shit going on, if just 4 a second, it helped, DON'T EVER STOP!

Carolyn Fath
Linda! Beautiful work! And on such a gloomy day like today. Aaah, gave me hope that the sun may shine today! Your link couldn't have come at a more opportune time. I'll be art directing the Isthmus starting Sept. 27th (the only 9-5 job that would make me give up freelance!) so I'm looking forward to sending assignments your way if you're interested. Unfortunately, the publication is primarily B/W. Anyway, it was a treat to see some of your work! c

Larry Cooper
Seeing the paintings this way, on my primitive computer, makes me glad that I have had the opportunity to visit this stunning body of work in person. On a summer evening in Wisconsin, I have been transported 2000 miles south and had the smell of jerk and the sound of steel drums in my senses. The Islands will fill you when you visit this work.

Kathy
I showed Kathy the site and suggested she sign your guestbook and she said she was too tired so I'm doing it for her.DougPersonal Secretary to Ms. Kathryn

Hi,Like your oil pastels. I'm painting myself in this medium and was happy to see a few others at this site who use this medium. I'm hoping to post some of mine shortly.Regards,Leo

Kim Thomas
Just about to look at your site. Looking forward to it.Love ya...Kim

Lynn Martin
Dear Linda, I loved looking at your artwork. I've never been to places like those you've shown me here, but I can almost see, hear, smell, taste and feel them from your pictures. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thanks and blessings to you. Lynn.

Anton Vogels
Hi Linda, your beautiful colourful paintings are like fairy tales to me. Pleasant to see and delightful to be a part of.Best from,Anton in Australia.

Larry Cooper
Hi Linda, I love the poundings! It's an inspiration to see what the hands can do with minimal tooling when driven by a boundless heart. I'm glad I was in on the ground floor with this project. Keep busy, the world needs this!Best, Larry

Wow, you were right. You work in many mediums. I would like to see a picture of the pine cone eagle if I could. I especially like the vivid colors in the oil painting!!Ever thougt about dolfins??Peggy

nelly van nieuwenhuijzen
I love your paintings and your big fantasy (which is reality..)!my skies are just filled with clouds and sometimes only empty air......

Linda, Your work is beautiful and colorful. Your ability to work in and curiosity to explore many mediums only shows how multi-talented you are! Please continue to explore all the mediums at your fingertips and beyond – the art world needs you!

Kim Thomas
Hi Linda, Enjoyed looking at your work here. You've been a busy girl. Love, Kim

mary jean galivan
I really like your work. It's colorful and fun. I really like your dogs. I am a member of this website too, and I'm looking at other artists and letting them know if I appreciate their work. I too do printmaking, painting and sculpture. I'm originally from Chicago and live in Arizona now.

Carol L. Cooley
I enjoy your sardine can fish art (repousse)!! Very creative.....I must look up to see if sardines have teeth like that.....they remind me of piranhas!!

Ruth Palmer
Hi, I helped you with you phone bill. I enjoy your art.

Brad Michael Moore
Linda, I will smile to you from this country place - as you ride this new wave - and I continue to watch to night skies for when you are too sleepy...
