Linda Mix Yates knew from an early age she wanted to be an artist and spent much of her youth exploring media including clay, weaving and painting. In 2003, Linda took a leap of faith and decided to go full-time into the art business.
Linda’s work is inspired by the dish. Her media is mosaic in the tradition of picassiette-mosaic with broken dishes. The process begins with each dish Linda finds. She is drawn to a find by its color, shape, texture, pattern or all of the above. Linda’s work is a celebration of life, the life of the dish, the life lived around the dish, and new life after picking up the pieces. She seeks to capture these stories of life by evoking a sense of time, place and emotion in each mosaic.
