An explosion of color forms a heart against a yellow-green background, capturing the thrill of love, life, and adventure. The piece radiates even more vividly under black light. It invites viewers to live every day to the fullest.
About the Artist
Artist Linda Shaffer creates intricately layered abstract collages based on her travels. "My defining art moment was when I was eleven years old and I got to visit Van Briggle Pottery in Colorado Springs," says Linda. She watched mesmerized as the potter created a beautiful piece of art as if by magic from a lump of brown wet mud. After high school, Linda became a registered nurse and spent her days off making pottery at a local studio. As her nursing career advanced—from labor and delivery to ICU, trauma, and eventually college nursing—Linda returned to school, earning a bachelor’s in business administration. She chose art classes for every elective and even built her own clay studio. Later, she earned a master’s in public health and became a tenured college professor, while taking art classes every semester, where she discovered a passion for painting and printmaking. After retiring early from teaching, Linda pursued her interest in fine jewelry by attending the Gemological Institute of America. Since 2011, she has been working full-time as a painter and jeweler. When Linda's not making art, she enjoys golfing with a close circle of friends. She's made two hole-in-ones and plans for more.

"This painting was inspired by birds taking flight,” says artist Linda Shaffer. “I love hummingbirds and live in Las Vegas, Nevada where they flourish. They zip all around my back yard and are beautiful to behold.” Linda captures the essence of the creature into a vibrant multi-layered mixed media. She utilized red, turquoise, and blue with hand-printed paper, original images, and washi papers resulting in a dynamic abstract piece.
About the Artist
Artist Linda Shaffer creates intricately layered abstract collages based on her worldly travels. "My defining art moment was when I was eleven years old and I got to visit Van Briggle Pottery in Colorado Springs," says Linda. "I watched mesmerized as the potter working on the wheel created a beautiful piece of art as if by magic from a lump of brown wet mud. I knew someday I would create those beautiful pieces of magic." After high school, Linda became a registered nurse. On her days off, she made pottery at a local studio. As her nursing career progressed – from labor and delivery to ICU and trauma, and then college nursing – she returned to school for her bachelor’s in business administration. Every elective she chose was an art class, and she built her own clay studio. Eventually, Linda earned her master’s in public health and became a tenured college professor. She was delighted that the job allowed her to take art classes every semester, where she discovered painting and printmaking. Linda retired early from teaching and wanted to learn more about fine jewelry, so she attended the Gemological Institute of America. Since 2011, she has been working full-time as a painter and jeweler. When Linda's not making art, she enjoys golfing with a close circle of friends. She's made two hole-in-ones and plans for more.
