“If Painting is My Language, Color is My Song,” a body of new works by Bothell area artist Linda Bean, is the featured exhibit at Kaewyn Gallery through May 13. An opening reception is set from 5-8 p.m. Friday, April 4.
Bean began painting with her husband’s oil paints which had gone unused. Finding encouragement from friends, Bean went on to study painting in various places including the Scottsdale Art School in California. She says that “painting comes more from desire than talent, and a person excels at it through “passion, learning, and hard work. The talent follows.”
Bean encourages anyone contemplating entering into some form of art to-do it.” Bean says, the art world is one “of wonderful people all working at their own level, and open to learning and sharing.”
