Linda Jeffers is a visual artist who has never been constrained to one media. She draws from her daily life to create assemblages and paintings that are at once documents of a moment in time and a metaphor for the greater society in which we live. In this body of work, she has focused on her daily ritual of walking her dogs, and the meditations that can be found in those quiet moments of being outside. She’s interested in the push and pull of nature and the developed, manicured, and man-made structures.

“I’ve always loved the freedom of being outdoors. This close affinity with nature allows me to observe changes, especially in trees, which dress up or down according to season. It’s no shock; I walk my two canine companions daily on asphalt and it is during these walks, found objects appear; the grey richness of the asphalt performs as a ready backdrop. The landscape is my home and the streetscapes are my own. Streetlights of intense copper orange, golden yellow, and neon green, illuminate the asphalt. Telephone and electric lines, like silver threads, gently engrave the sky as they pierce nature’s space, speak history, reveal a past, and give up treasures.”
