Hill Country artist signs with UK-based agency
Texas wildflowers are getting some international exposure since Hill Country artist Linda Calvert Jacobson signed with Eaglecrown, a UK-based firm representing museums, galleries and artists from around the world.
“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.
Jacobson, who lives at Canyon Lake and paints her trade-mark wildflowers from her studio in downtown New Braunfels, met Eaglecrown’s Managing Director Judi Scott Nunn in June at the Licensing 2007 International Expo in New York City. This was the artist’s second time to exhibit at the show, which brings together companies looking to license a wide range of brands, art and properties.
“I have felt for some time that my colorful wildflower paintings would translate well to a variety of products, ranging from textiles to dinnerware, in addition to brightening a home or office as extraordinary wall decor,” Jacobson says. “I’m delighted to be working with Eaglecrown to expose my wildflowers to an international audience.”
A collection of 19 paintings by Jacobson are included in the company’s collection and colorfully described in the recent newsletter release, which was e-mailed to some 2,000 subscribers worldwide.
“Featuring wild splashes of bold, vivid colors to capture the essence of wild flowers in their natural setting, Linda is inspired by the simple but extravagant beauty of the floral landscapes of her native Texas,” McLachlan writes. “Her aim is to help recharge our batteries and cleanse us of the grimey fatigue that encapsulates modern day city living with the pure reflections of nature harnessed by her work.”
Jacobson 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 Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas.
Founded in 2001 as a representative agency for Russian palaces and museums, Eaglecrown’s licensing agency has grown to encompass a library of over 15 million images from the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, the USA and Europe.
“The archives that we gather our images from include the Hermitage, The National Archives, The British Library, The British Film Institute, Glasgow Museums and the Museums, Punch Cartoon Library, the Galleries and Palaces of the Russian Federation, plus numerous independent artists and photographers,” McLachlan says.
Eaglecrown is chaired by Jeremy Delmar-Morgan, well known city financier and chairman of Hichens, Harrison & Co., director of the London Symphony Orchestra, and is chairman of Brendoncare, a U.K. charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for older people.
