Jacobson featured as New Braunfels Art League Artist of Month
The New Braunfels Art League Gallery is spotlighting Linda Calvert Jacobson as “Artist of the Month” for October. The exhibit features works from Jacobson’s newest series of wildflower paintings, titled “Summer of Luv,” which she began in June.
“I’ve always been drawn to the colorful tie-dyed fabrics of the 1960s,” Jacobson says. “Since 2008 was the 40th anniversary of the ‘Summer of Love,’ I decided to infuse this series of wildflower paintings with vibrant hues reminiscent of that period.”
The paintings will be on display at the New Braunfels Art League Gallery through Oct. 31. The public is invited to meet Jacobson at a reception from 5-9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 9, during downtown New Braunfels’ 4th Annual Fall Wine Stroll.
A native of Texas, Jacobson has combined a lifelong love of nature, wildflowers and art to create paintings that celebrate Spring year around. From her studio in downtown New Braunfels, Jacobson began her contemporary wildflower series in 2003 and has continued to develop and evolve her unique style. Today, she spreads joy around the world through her artwork.
Hundreds of Jacobson’s original wildflower paintings are in private collections in numerous states in the U.S. and around the world. Jacobson also licenses her designs for products. They are currently featured on a line of greeting cards in the UK, New Zealand and Australia and for a series of limited-edition, artists-inspired watches that are exclusively available in the UK. Other projects are in the works.”
In addition to the licensed images and original artwork, Jacobson has a line of products, such as mugs, throw pillows and neckties, that she has designed and markets online through two print-on-demand companies, which are linked from her website, www.texaswildflowerart.com.
The New Braunfels Art League Gallery is located at 239 W. San Antonio St. Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. on Sunday. The gallery is free and open to the public. For more information, call 830-629-8022.
