JACOBSON SIGNS WITH SOUTH FLORIDA GALLERY
Texas Hill Country artist Linda Calvert Jacobson has signed with Fort Lauderdale-based Léche-Vitrines Art Alliance, a contemporary fine art gallery, for exclusive Florida gallery representation. Jacobson’s original contemporary wildflower paintings will be regularly exhibited at the Ft. Lauderdale gallery and have been added to Léche-Vitrines online portfolio.
Jacobson will be making a personal appearance at Léche-Vitrines Art Alliance on May 22 to meet potential clients and discuss her work during an artist talk.
"Lèche-Vitrines Art Alliance is pleased to welcome Linda Calvert Jacobson into the gallery roster,” says gallery owner Danielle Lanteigne. “Her work brings a fresh, energetic twist to the every day floral painting. The bright, vibrant colors are a perfect supplement to the intense, sun-filled rooms of South Florida. The paintings are at first a chaotic mix of colors and shapes then they come into focus and you're standing in the middle of a rainbow field filled with flowers."
Jacobson, who lives at Canyon Lake and paints her trademark wildflowers from her studio in downtown New Braunfels, began the series of original paintings in 2003. Her original paintings are in private collections through out Texas as well as California, Colorado, Louisiana, New York, Massachusetts, Canada, Mexico and England.
In addition, Jacobson is licensing her wildflower designs with international companies. They are currently featured on a series of greeting cards being sold in stores in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. Jacobson has also been selected as one of three international artists whose artwork will used on a line of limited-edition, collector watches that will be sold on UK TV starting this summer.

WILDFLOWER ART BY LINDA CALVERT JACOBSON LICENSED FOR LIMITED-EDITION WATCH SERIES
Texas-based artist Linda Calvert Jacobson has licensed three of her contemporary wildflower paintings to JK Hendersons for a line of limited edition, artist-inspired watches.

Eaglecrown licensing agency, founded in 2001 as a representative agency for Russian palaces and museums, has grown to encompass a library of over 15 million images from the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, the USA and Europe.

JACOBSON RETURNS TO NYC FOR SURTEX 08
Contemporary Wildflowers will bloom at Surtex
Linda Calvert Jacobson returns to New York to spread some Texas color
NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS — Texas-based contemporary wildflower artist Linda Calvert Jacobson will exhibit her series of colorful floral art for the first time at the Surtex trade show this May. Jacobson has previously exhibit in New York at the International Licensing Show.
“I’m delighted to return to New York City with my wildflowers,” Jacobson says. “With licensing deals already in the works for the UK, New Zealand and Australia, my bright, happy florals are hitting the right nerve on an international level.”
The artist, a native of Texas, has been working on her contemporary wildflower series since 2003 and her paintings are in private collections through out Texas as well as California, Colorado, Louisiana, New York, Canada and Mexico. Her work is frequently exhibited at the renowned Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. In 2007, Jacobson signed with Eaglecrown, a licensing agent based in the UK, which has already secured her a deal for a series of greeting cards and is working on additional projects featuring her wildflowers.
“We at Eaglecrown are constantly on the lookout for new artists and photographers and, whilst exhibiting at the New York Licensing Show, we couldn't resist recruiting Linda Calvert Jacobson, the petal-pushing creator of these tantalising tastes of Texan floral splendour,” Dan McLachlan, Imagery and Creative Director, wrote in a release promoting Jacobson’s art to potential licensees and collectors.
This will be the first time that Jacobson’s work will be exhibited at Surtex. She will be one of eight artists featured in the Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing booth (#2531, Hall 1 E) at the annual Surtex trade show for licensing art and design to be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City on May 18-20, 2008. Jacobson is also the owner of Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing and is coordinating the representation of the other artists along side her work.
“I have brought together this group of artists for the Surtex show whose work compliments one another perfectly,” Jacobson says. “Whether clients are looking for abstract realism or contemporary expressionism, sophisticated whimsy or interpretive photography, we have plenty to choose from.”
The other artists featured artists to be featured in the Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing booth at Surtex are:
• Sharon Neuhaus, well-known for her playful, witty and sophisticated whimsy is ready to expand her licensing program for “Poultry in Motion,” a colorful parade of roosters.
• Myra Knapp, an oil painter whose luminous “First Light” paintings of forest scenes and series of thunderous cloudscapes, entitled “Volumes,” are highly collected and now available for licensing.
• Mary Shepard, a watercolorist with an eye for details as is evident in her nostalgic and colorful series of antique pick-up trucks and cars.
• Bill Brockmeier, a panoramic photographer who can capture a 360-degree view and turn the familiar into something extraordinary.
• Karen Gillis Taylor, a painter who has found a way to interpret wonder and romance on canvas through her colorful “ShimmerTown” series of cities at night.
• Kandyce Waltensperger, an artist dividing her time between South Texas and Northern Mexico and whose paintings of Mexican dolls, or “Muñecas,” are inspired by the colors and traditions of the Mexican culture.
• Imogene Luhrman, whose emotionally exciting watercolor acrylic paintings pulsate with colors and shapes.
In addition to samples of work on exhibit, brochures from all eight of the artists will be distributed from the Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing booth (#2531, Hall 1 E) during the show.
