 Linda Marr
- Showing at Slidell Municipal Auditorium
Linda Marr is a self-taught artist who has been drawing and painting since she was thirteen. Her main interest is figurative art, primarily created as pencil drawings and oil paintings. Her inspiration comes from life or photographs and she chooses certain images that stand out in her mind to recreate. The basic ideas culminate toward a cohesive, thematic whole. Linda devotes herself to learning new techniques so that she can always evolve as an artist. At the basis of her development is always a search for inspiration.
Linda believes art is a natural break away from everyday life. It is a motivation to persevere through many ordinary experiences of life and also allows for expression of feelings. It enables one freedom to think, daydream, and gives one a sense of control. It is wonderful to be able to communicate feelings in this way.

As a child, Adam showed a propensity for drawing and music which his mother and father recognized and encouraged. In elementary school he was accepted into the talented art’s program where he went on to do murals and win awards for his drawings. Adam was first introduced to painting when he met his wife, a college visual arts major at the time. Adam started painting with her paints and brushes and quickly found that he was amazed with color. As a self taught Christian painter, he is inspired by classic painters such as Michelangelo Caravaggio’s religious paintings. By studying his masterpieces, Adam learned shape, shadows, perspective and developed a love for realism. Today his passion to create art comes from religion and his Louisiana surroundings where he finds his vibrant sceneries, cajun and jazzy subjects. Adam’s desire as an artist is to continue studying and developing his unique style.

"Why are you taking a picture of my toes?" one of my children asked me not too long ago. "To remind you of how beautiful they are," I wanted to say. Instead, I just smiled because they already know how much I like to take photographs, many of them from unusual angles and perspectives. I am a self-taught photographer, who uses my camera to make the normal appear fresh and unique. My passion for photography began after taking a photography course in high school Photography has allowed me to document my travels and my family's milestones. My photography has been on display at Arts Evening in Slidell, LA for several years. In 2001, my image "Face" was chosen for the program cover. In 2008, I received second place for Best in Show at the Smyrna's Spirit Talk Art Walk in Smyrna, GA. From Louisiana to Georgia, my camera has remained by my side. My children may never understand my perspective but one day they will be glad they have that photograph of their toes.
