Fall Impression

This image of fall is high influenced by the impressionist period. For the framed version, the borders have been torn and it is affixed to the back so that it raised creating a shadow to give another dimension of space. The frame is gold to bring out the warm colors of the image. When sold as a print only, you may request that the edges be torn or not.

About Linda DeStefano Brown
I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Public Administration from Eastern Michigan University. During my Fine Art studies, I began my journey with a camera enjoying the solitude of my darkroom while processing black and white film using a Nikon F camera. Today I shoot digitally, processing and printing my own images. My equipment includes Nikon cameras and lenses, a teleconverter, a circular polarizer and numerous other filters. I also use LensBaby lenses to create in-camera visions. I use a tripod for those images that require a long exposure, but I usually shoot handheld. I print using an Epson P700 printer. Most of my images are printed on textured matte papers. I edit images using Lightroom, Photoshop, ON1, and Topaz. Through my photography, I search for hidden meanings beyond the visual world surrounding us, creating images that transform the ordinary into a visual journey of familiar feelings, thoughts, fantasies, and memories. Some images are very sharp and detailed while others are very much influenced by Impressionism’s interplay of light to present a poetic and ethereal feel. For me, time has become an idea that past, present and future are commingled into a single cerebral space. My work has been displayed at 6 Bridges Gallery, Maynard; ArtSpace, Maynard; ArtsWayland, Wayland; Boston Post Road Art Center, Marlborough; Fountain Street Fine Art Gallery, Boston; Hopkinton Center for the Arts, Hopkinton; Hudson Town Hall, Hudson; Look Optical, Maynard; Marlborough Public Library, Marlborough; MetroWest Chamber, Framingham; Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary Art Center, Sharon; Nancy’s Airfield Cafe, Stow; Plymouth Center for the Arts, Plymouth; and the Sprinkler Factory, Worcester. Publications include Harpers Magazine; Boston Voyager: Inspiring Local Women; Nature Photographer Magazine; and Best of Photography. I have self-published several books of my work and have issued numerous calendars.
