MEDIUMS: Mixed Media SPECIALTY: ✔ Artistic Process & Mindset ✔ Creating Bodies of Work ✔ Critiques
Our mentorship group will focus on developing mixed media abstraction while learning to embrace the creative process with intuition, playfulness, and curiosity. I often incorporate parallel themes of mindfulness such as non-judgment and self-compassion to help artists let go of fear and criticism.
Artists can expect to dive deep into exploring the combination of various mediums, including collage (paper, textiles, ephemera), acrylic, watercolors, and dry media. With 15+ years of experience as a professional mixed media artist, I am ready to support you in developing your unique style and discovering which mediums you feel best represent your narrative. I’ll also provide insight into techniques such as layering, texture, composition, complexity, color, and movement. Together we will work towards solidifying your visual language and uncovering a meaningful theme to investigate through a unified, large body of work. Additionally, our group can help you thrive in all the details of presenting your work – exhibiting, marketing, website design, artist statements, branding, and more.
Through honest collaborative dialogues, nurturing constructive feedback, and motivating exercises, our group will act as a regular practice of community, artistic growth, and inspiration.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Linden Eller (b.1984, Phoenix, AZ) spent her youth in the urban Sonoran desert before moving to Southern California to obtain her BA in Studio Art. She’s since lived and worked across Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the northeast region of the US. Linden’s work explores a dichotomy between memory architecture and the present experience. Fully enamored by mixed media, she uses a variety of materials to create, including paper, found fragments, transparencies, sewing thread, paint, pencil, ink, and pastels.
In honoring the “now,” she often will incorporate items from her immediate surroundings, such as plants, petals, tea leaves, receipts from pockets, scattered desk papers, even elements from her beverage or snack. This also supports her aim to increase sustainability in creation – giving purpose to the plain, trash bound items, and renaming them as curious offerings of texture, or poignancy.
Her work acts as a gentle nudge to loosen our hold on the past, celebrating the science that memory is full of alterations, renewals, and inaccuracies. Embracing intuition, experimentation, and play, many parts of her process are intentionally unplanned – an exercise in mindfulness and acceptance of each moment and decision. She thinks of her work as layered field recordings that represent a oneness – multiple perspectives and repetitions of the same shared story.
Richard Powers says,
“Memory is always a collaboration in progress. You’re not just you.”
Linden’s work has been published and exhibited internationally. She also works as an illustrator and art educator. She currently lives in Mount Holly, Vermont, with her partner, son, and cat Simone.
