One step inside her studio, and anyone can feel the magic
and light swirling around.
Future paintings are hanging in the air.
For Linda to be able to go fully into her "artmind" and bring her paintings to life, she needed to create a place that would nurture that energy and add to it.
The stars were in perfect alignment when she found "the studio on Linda street," a street that ironically shares her name. With its lakeside location (just
about - only a couple blocks from the gorgeous shores of Lake Erie), its quiet sidestreet peacefulness, and its abundance of windows from every side, Linda's
"Gross Brown Studio" has become her magical lab. A place where she can lose herself for hours and hours and find the perfect strokes, the perfect colors, and
give birth to the incredible paintings for which she is known.
Every so often, we get a chance to peek into Linda's magical studio. She does have open houses there, when the doors of the studio are propped open, inviting us into that cozy and beautiful workspace to see her paintings with our own eyes. It is a promise that we'll be stopped dead in our tracks by walls of paintings, all bathed in a glow and viewers standing in front of each, transfixed.
The outside awning is the only thing that gives a clue
as to the gorgeous paintings that are being born inside.
One of the things that is so special about attending an open house at Gross Brown Studio is meeting the artist herself. Her bright eyes, love-of-life smile and infectious, joyful laughter make her easily recognizable. On meeting Linda, it is the easiest thing in the world to understand how and why these paintings flow from her fingers.
Attending an open house is not the only opportunity to see Linda's studio in Rocky River. She does make private studio visits available time permitting. It is simply a matter of contacting the studio and arranging a visit. If you are interested in seeing a specific painting, you'll want to mention that so
the appointment can be made while the painting is on-site (many of her paintings spend a lot of time on the road at various exhibitions). If you know the painting, but don't know its name, visit the online gallery to identify which one it is that you're wanting to see.
Linda's workspace is positively surrounded by color -
everything she needs within close reach to work her magic.
