Artist plans to ‘cultivate happiness’ with solo show at Wildflower Center
Paintings by wildflower artist and Texas native Linda Calvert Jacobson will be exhibited in a solo show May 31-Aug. 17 at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. A “Meet the Artist” opening reception is planned for 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, June 1.
Titled “Wildflower Gardens and Meadows: Cultivating Happiness,” the exhibit will feature more than 15 large acrylic paintings, as well as a selection of smaller works.
Joseph Hammer, Director of Product Marketing at the Wildflower Center, invited Jacobson to exhibit her colorful wildflower paintings in the carriage house gallery, also known as the McDermott Learning Center, or MLC. Only four artists per year are invited for a solo show.
“We are pleased to have Linda’s work featured during the summer when visitors can take their time to explore the grounds and exhibits,” Hammer said. “Her vibrant colors resonate with the public and leave them feeling good,” Hammer said.
Jacobson, who paints from her studio in downtown New Braunfels, Texas, has been a fan of wildflowers since growing up in Floresville, south of San Antonio.
“There were always fields of bluebonnets and paintbrushes on our family farm,” Jacobson says. “You can say that wildflowers are a part of who I am.”
She began painting her distinctive interpretation of wildflowers about 10 years ago. Today, hundreds of her original works are in private collections throughout the United States. Her designs have been licensed for use on greeting cards, limited-edition watches and other products in the international market.
Jacobson is represented by a number of national galleries, including Wild Holly Gallery, Carefree, Arizona.; Robert Paul Galleries Stowe, Vermont; Paint Box SoHo, NYC; ArtisticLifestyles, Las Vegas; LongCoat Fine Art, Ruidoso, New Mexico; and Grand Teton Gallery, Jackson, Wyoming.

Texas Wildflowers blooming in galleries in New York, Vermont
Wildflower paintings by Texas artist Linda Calvert Jacobson are now being exhibited in galleries in New York City and Stowe, Vermont.
Paint Box Art and Frame, located in Manhattan’s West Village, began carrying Jacobson’s art after owner Hashmat Farooqui met the artist at the 2012 International Artexpo, held in late March in New York City.
“Mr. Farooqui approached me at the expo and invited my husband and I to come by his gallery to see the location and space,” Jacobson said. “We visited twice, once at night and again during the day, and were very pleased with both the gallery and vibrant neighborhood of West Village. It’s a trendy area of Manhattan, centrally located in the arts community.”
Another gallery owner, Bob O’Toole, briefly met Jacobson at Artexpo and was immediately struck by her wildflowers. O’Toole contacted the artist after the show with an invitation to exhibit her work at Robert Paul Galleries in Stowe, Vermont.
“I’m thrilled to have been invited to exhibit with Robert Paul Galleries,” Jacobson said. “This is a great opportunity to get my wildflowers in an area known as a vacation destination for people around the world.”
Robert Paul Galleries can be found at 394 Mountain Rd., Stowe, VT, phone 802-253-7282; http://www.robertpaulgalleries.com.
Paint Box Art & Frame is located at the corner of Hudson and Christopher streets in New York City, phone (212) 727-3913; www.paintboxartandframing.com.
A native of Texas, Jacobson paints her vibrant wildflowers from her studio in the Texas Hill Country. While the paintings are inspired by flowers of her native Texas, the contemporary, somewhat abstract look appeals to art and nature lovers around the world. Her paintings are in collections in the U.S. and abroad. The images have also been licensed and used on a line of limited-edition watches sold in the U.K. and Germany and on a line of greeting cards sold in Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.

WILDFLOWER ART BY LINDA CALVERT JACOBSON LICENSED FOR NEW LIMITED-EDITION WATCH SERIES IN THE UK
For the third year, Texas-based artist Linda Calvert Jacobson has licensed her contemporary wildflower paintings to JK Henderson for a line of limited edition, artist-inspired watches. The new designs will be sold on satellite TV shopping channels in the UK starting in May 2010.
Established in 1976, Henderson Watches is one of UK’s leading international watch wholesalers and retailers for licensed brand watches.
The deal was handled by Eaglecrown, an art agency representing Jacobson’s work for the United Kingdom and international market. The fact that JK Henderson has licensed Jacobson’s designs for the third time, proves that art is meeting consumers’ needs, says Sue Bateman, Licensing Manager for Eaglecrown.
“Linda's floral designs are appealing to customers because they are so cheerful and bright,” Bateman says. “The many colours make them easy to wear with all sorts of outfits and complement the colourful clothes that are so fashionable again.”
In addition to the watch deals with JK Henderson, Eaglecrown facilitated the licensing of Jacobson art on a line of greeting cards that were sold in the UK, New Zealand and Australia in 2007-2008. Last year, Jacobson’s watches were also sold on shopping channels in Germany as well as the UK. Bateman sees this as just the beginning.
“We are promoting Linda’s bright flowers designs to textile, apparel and canvas clients,” she says. “We also have great hopes also of finding a home ware license.”
Jacobson signed with Eaglecrown after meeting company representatives at the License 2007 International Expo in New York. 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.

‘VARIATIONS ON A THEME’ FEATURES WILDFLOWER PAINTINGS BY LINDA CALVERT JACOBSON
PAINTINGS ON EXHIBIT AT AUSTIN’S CAFE JOSIE THROUGH JAN. 2, 2009
Wildflower paintings representing a variety of styles by Linda Calvert Jacobson will be on exhibit at Café Josie through Jan. 2, 2009.
The solo exhibit at the popular Sixth-Street restaurant features 13 paintings from three different series of wildflowers by Jacobson.
“As you look around the restaurant, you’ll see that the title of this exhbit, ‘Variations on a Theme.’ is self-explanatory,” Jacobson says. “On one wall you’ll see a heavily textured landscape painting from my palette-knife meadow series. On the adjacent wall is a selection from my signature line of contemporary wildflowers. The third group of canvases are from my newest series, titled ‘Summer of Luv,’ which are inspired by the colorful tie-dye fabrics of the 1960s.”
This exhibit is being held at the same time that 24 of Jacobson’s contemporary wildflower paintings are being featured in a solo show at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. That show ends on Dec. 14. Jacobson was invited for the solo exhibit by Joseph P. Hammer, the Wildflower Center’s director of product marketing.
"Linda Jacobson's paintings and her singular style capture the vibrancy and romance of wildflowers as few other artists around," Hammer says.
After arrangements had already been made for the Wildflower Center show, Jacobson was invited to exhibit at Café Josie, giving her the opportunity to bring in work from her two other series of wildflower paintings.
A native of Texas, Jacobson has combined a lifelong love of nature, wildflowers and art to create a series of paintings that celebrate Spring year around. From her studio in the Texas Hill Country, Jacobson began her contemporary wildflower series in 2003 and has continued to develop her unique style. Last year she began her palette-knife meadow series and this past summer she added the colorful “Summer of Luv” series.
Hundreds of Jacobson’s original wildflower paintings are in private collections in numerous states in the U.S. and around the world. Jacobson is represented in Florida by Léche-Vitrines Art Gallery in Fort Lauderdale. She also exhibits her wildflowers in her own gallery space, Casa de Linda Art Studio and Gallery, located in historic downtown New Braunfels, Texas and through her website, www.texaswildflowerartist.com.
Meanwhile, as her interpretive, expressive and colorful wildflowers proved to be popular with a broad range of collectors, Jacobson began to offer images from the series as designs for licensing and quickly found that the wildflowers transcend geographic boundaries, appealing to art and nature lovers on an international level as was evident by the response received at annual International Licensing Expos in New York City where she exhibits her wildflower artwork to potential licensees.
The contemporary wildflowers 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. She continues to negotiate and is open to discussing additional licensing opportunities.
Jacobson’s wildflower art has been featured on the NBC-affiliate TV program “San Antonio Living,” and in numerous articles in publications ranging including Art Buyer Magazine, Art Business News, The Licensing Book and License!Global magazine.
Café Josie is located at 1200 B West 6th Street, Austin; phone 512-322-9226; www.cafejosie.com. To learn more about Jacobson and her wildflower art, visit www.texaswildflowerartist.com.
