Linda VanArtsdalen is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice interweaves printmaking, alternative photography, and slow stitching into a thoughtful exploration of nature’s quiet intricacies. Drawn to the textures, forms, and patterns found in her surroundings, she works with botanical materials and cyanotype chemistry to produce evocative pieces that reflect both organic transformation and meditative craft. Linda currently resides in Western New York, USA.
