| The Tokonoma Series was inspired by the Asian art displayed in tokonomas alcoves. As the sacred center of a traditional Japanese home, tokonomas were reserved for treasured items like scrolls or calligraphy, beautiful kimonos, ikebana flower arrangements, miniature bonsai trees, and fine ceramics for tea ceremonies. The items displayed were changed for special occasions, according to the season, or to create different settings and atmospheres. | |
| "The
dragonfly shares the symbolism
of the butterfly, representing
immortality and regeneration."
From The Illustrated Book of Signs
& Symbols, by Miranda Bruce-Mitford.

| Award-winning & self-taught artist Linda M. Olszanski specializes in creating Quilt Art collages that portray metaphorical imagery inspired by nature and science. Linda composes improvisational styled collage quilts with a variety of fabrics, threads, and embellishments. Unlike traditional quilts composed of 3 separate layers; she pieces, appliqués and embroiders directly on a layered foundation of fabric and quilt batting which results in immediate dimensionality. |

The improvisational collage style of composing allows me the freedom to explore and discover unexpected evolutions of the content and meaning behind the metaphorical imagery.
While the metaphoric images have specific meaning to me, they are also enigmatic in that the viewer can bring their own personal experience to their interpretation.
A full-time studio artist, instructor and lecturer since 1994, Linda’s art has been exhibited and collected internationally - Germany & France.
