Linda Lapierre ©2001Linda McMurray
is a fine artist, new to Central Texas, most recently from Houston where she fulfilled a lifelong dream of working as an artist. Her formal training is in the fine arts but she has experience in commercial art as well as home improvements and interior decorating. 

After Mardi Gras

Linda graduated in 1990 from Southwest Texas State University's Fine Arts Department with a specialization in painting but didn't utilize her degree professionally until 1999 in Kingwood, Texas.  There, she painted in numerous homes doing murals and stenciling.  Although her passion is primitive art, she is a master at copying almost any art style a client may desire.

"Chokwe Spirit Mask"
8" X 5"
ceramic and mixed media

 

This is not a death mask, it is a life mask. Inspired from the African Chokwe spirit protector of power and wealth, this mask conjures the past and invites you to experience the story within. Listen, hear the drums. Walk among the smoke and smell sweet grasses on the fire. Let your heartbeat match the earth's response to bare feet dancing on it. Discover your story within.

The original design was painted in black and white on a canvas before being digitized for publication. The theme was "Bon Voyage" and Carnival Cruise Line was presenting at their luncheon. This design will be burnished onto the lid of a picnic basket for the OWC's annual Christmas fund raiser. An accompanying limited print will be offered as a companion piece.
