Linda Ritchie creates works of art that become part of the social fabric - literally.
Specializing in creating images with fabric, she adds a variety of objects to create dimensional work … fabrics, beads, seashells, threads, metal.
Part of the Art Around the Town initiative, her work is prominently displayed at the Stroud branch of the Innisfil ideaLAB and Library until August. Run through the library, Art Around gives primarily local artists space to showcase their work at the Lakeshore, Stroud and Cookstown branches, as well as town hall and the Rizzardo Health and Wellness Centre. A new display recently went up at Lakeshore, featuring the work of artist Melissa van Dam.
Interested artists can apply to have their work displayed; the application can be found at innisfilidealab.ca.
