Linda Sheets' exhibit reception will be held Thursday, Oct. 11, at 6 p.m. in the Anne Kittrell Art Gallery, located in the University of Arkansas Union. Her work will continue to be displayed until Oct. 31st.

Linda Sheet’s style is truly her own. Her collages, free-form furniture, and found object constructions are reminiscent of Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson, with a healthy dash of folk art aesthetic. Her innovative approach to scratchboard as a medium, however, has set Linda into a class all her own. Her work can be seen in galleries, shows, and private collections around the country and was recently used to decorate the walls of the main characters home in the ABC drama The Lying Game. She will show scratchboard pieces from her new book Dog Scratchin’. Linda will donate 20 percent of her total sales to two animal rescue groups: Pet’s Sake in Springdale and the Fayetteville Animal Shelter.
