Coyote Woman Reviews her first 50 Years--painting by Mitzi Linn

Mitzi's Magical Paintings in Gouache

Natural beauty has always inspired and nurtured me. I express that beauty in paintings of symbolic landscapes alluding to actual places on the planet. The warm, vibrant colors I use energize the viewer’s spirit. I paint human bodies as part of landscapes because we humans are part of the earth. I think of them as sacred landscapes.
Living in Oaxaca, Mexico, inspired me to paint seriously. I had to paint my impressions and feelings inspired by that ancient, culturally rich area. It was in Oaxaca I rediscovered that quality of life that allowed me time to really look at things, take them in, absorb them, and interact internally with them. My paintings come from that interaction of self and world. Many of my series of paintings were birthed in Oaxaca--the Oaxacascapes, the Day of the Dead Series and the tropical landscapes, the Banana Leaf Series.
Spending time in New Mexico, Arizona and other parts of the Southwest near the border inspired the “Borderlands Series”. I try to communicate that the Border region with Mexico includes the same cultures--Native American and Hispanic in similar landscapes. People, cultures and objects native to this continent flowed through this region since time immemoriable.
I paint in gouache, a non-plastic water color. It is a traditional medium used historically by many fine artists including Chagall, Rivera, and others. I am mostly self taught as a painter and developed my own way of using gouache over time.
Interest in Ancient American cultures, studies of African Dance, Tantric Art, practicing Tibetan Buddhist and general study of symbols and mythology gives me a deep understanding of multi-cultural and universal images. I honor the Feminine as the source of my inspiration, and spiritual feminism as the basis the Bananaleaf Series and Womantrees Dancing.
