Lance Jackson & Barbara Lind |Artistic License - A Couple of Artists Married to Art
April 7 - May 5th, 2024 | Mondays - Fridays, 3:00 - 5:00 pm
Jackson draws inspiration from traditional news media, echoing his career in media illustration and digital design. His acrylic painting “Five Ents” pulls us into J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle-earth where “Ents” closely resemble trees. They look like giant sentient beings that appeared in “The Lord of the Rings” as ancient shepherds of the forest and allies of the free peoples of Middle-earth during the War of the Ring. Today we call them environmental activists as these Ents attended a 2018 Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.
Barbara Lind has touched many art forms in her creative life: drawing with pencil, charcoal, pastels, ink; painting with watercolors and oils; and calligraphy for the immediacy of that art form. “The silver lining in the pandemic for me was the wealth of artistic resources online. I took Zoom classes with great teachers and artists and was exposed to many different painting styles,” she said. Look for her “Calla Lily” watercolor, a welcome harbinger of spring in local gardens.
