Esoteric Dreams First Solo Show By Linette Childs
October 19th, 2014 - Cape May Court House, NJ
Presidential Scholar ’95 alumnus and Cape May County, New Jersey resident artist, Linette Childs, returns to her native State of Maryland, to present her most recent paintings of predominately New Jersey landscapes, portraits and illustrative imagery, at the Yellow Barn Gallery, November 28th, through November 30th, 2014.
A reception for the artist is scheduled Friday, Nov. 28th, for 5 – 7 pm, in the gallery.
This event, which is hosted by the National Park Service and the Glen Echo Partnership for Fine Arts & Culture titled, “Esoteric Dreams”, represents works created from both imagination and her beautiful surroundings.
The show is a compilation of original oil paintings, many unseen and unpublished, portraying the many facets of modern society juxtaposed with simplistic beauty in peace and tranquility. Linette’s work encompasses all aspects of style in painting, using representational, illustrative and abstract styles, as a reflection of her personal pursuit to spiritual peace through exploring her own deep emotional scars of past and current events, contrasted by emanating glorious moments of light, that heal her soul, and stand as a voice unheard from those that are no longer present on earth.
Many of her pieces depict glorious southern New Jersey sunsets as contrasted by subtle remnants of historical and modern visions of controversy, in her quest to find serenity through luminous color relationships.
All events are open to the public. For more information, contact the Yellow Barn Gallery, at 1-301-371-5593 or the National Park Service, Glen Echo, at 301-492-6229.
