“FUNKY CHICKENS” A FINE ART EXHIBITION BY LINDA M. SHELTON
Redmond Senior Center

Local award-winning Redmond artist Linda M. Shelton will be the Featured Artist in the Redmond Senior Center for the month of August 2015. Linda will be displaying her humorous and whimsical funky chicken series. The Redmond Senior Center is located at 325 NW Dogwood in Redmond, OR. Their hours are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Linda Shelton grew up on a ranch in South Central, Washington. Since youth, Shelton has been intrigued with how to transfer images, whether real or imaginary, from the mind’s eye to paper. After earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Central Washington State College, Shelton joined United Airlines as a flight attendant. During her 30 year airline adventure, Shelton experimented in different art media, joyfully discovering what each amazing world offered. Although watercolor is Shelton’s favorite medium, she continues to explore other imaginative resources.

Shelton’s chickens are a series of original paintings depicting the life of chickens—when we humans aren’t looking! Each painting includes a story about what’s happening at the moment the chicken was spotted!

When not working on her own paintings, Shelton is active in several organizations including the Watercolor Society of Oregon and the regional SageBrushers Art Association.

For more information on Linda M. Shelton or about “Funky Chickens” contact the artist at: linmshel@yahoo.com or visit her website at: www.zhibit.org/lindashelton.
