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.

Established in 1976, Henderson Watches is one of UK’s leading international watch wholesalers and retailers for licensed brand watches.
This is Jacobson’s second UK licensing deal. Late last year, Eaglecrown inked a deal on the Jacobson’s behalf for a line of greeting cards featuring six of her wildflower paintings with Tracks Publishing Ltd. The greeting cards are now in stores in the UK, New Zealand and Australia.
“We are thrilled that Linda's work is proving so popular with our customers and we hope to expand the range of her licensed product even further this year,” says Dan McLachlan, Creative Director for Eaglecrown. “Along with our new Japanese artists, Linda is firmly seated in the Top 10 of our contemporary range — it must be something to do with changing attitudes to our environment and an increased awareness of just how important and attractive Mother Nature can be.”
Jacobson signed with Eaglecrown last July after meeting company representatives at the License 2007 International Expo in New York City. More than 45 of her wildflower paintings are included in the company’s catalog.

Jacobson will be returning to NYC to exhibit at Surtex 2008 on May 18-20 in the Casa de Linda Fine Art booth (#2531).
“As an artist, it feeds my soul to know that people enjoy my wildflowers as much as they do,” Jacobson says. “I take great satisfaction in knowing that I can spread a little happiness through my art.”
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’s work may be viewed online www.eaglecrown.com or at www.lindacalvertjacobson.com.

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. Potential clients may contact any of the individual artists for more information about their work.

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.
