"I am fascinated by the ambiguity of expressions and body language. The body plays an important role in my work. It is the site of interaction between inner feelings and outward appearances. Through the emotions expressed by the portrait I try to evoke a multiplicity of meanings, judgments, and empathy from the viewer." 

"Looked at your work. Very realistic. The mood that I see in your work is a sense of deep loneliness. A soulful pain. A separation. There seems to be no connection, but a turning away from the viewer. It is as if a person was craving attention, but not at the expense of exposure. A nakedness, but a separation. Reaching outwardly, but pulling inwardly. Searching, but fearful of the unknown. The truth, ever so near. A heartbeat away   " Linda Owen Mason"
