Rue Zig-Zag (Zig-Zag Road)

Linda is a visual artist who creates 2D works - using oils, acrylics, and pastels - and 3D works across various mediums including ceramics and installations. She acquired PTSD in her workplace in 2021 and is now in recovery, using her art practice as a vital outlet to express and support her healing journey.

Through her work, Linda channels her mental health experiences into creative expression, finding strength and connection in the process. Whether working with oils on canvas, pastels on paper, or sculptural forms, Linda continues to explore art as both therapy and transformation.

‘Rue Zig-Zag (Zig Zag Road)’ is located in the town of Gourdon in the South of France. I came across this imposing medieval door on Zig Zag Road in the medieval village section of the town. I painted this work while I was visiting the region during September 2024. I see it as representing the non-linear journey of mental health recovery.
