Linda Marie Fabry

Linda Marie Fabry is a contemporary American visionary artist. Since the introduction of her acrylic on canvas paintings to the online marketplace in 2001, her work has been collected by hundreds of individuals and corporations throughout the world.  She has received numerous awards, including Best of Show from a PBS televised exhibition that aired in 2003.

A diverse artist, Ms. Fabry has worked with a variety of media, including acrylics, watercolor, pastel, ceramic and mixed media. She has completed several public works in both Illinois and Wisconsin.  One of her pieces, a functional sculpture commissioned in 2005 by Indian Trails Public Library, Wheeling, IL, was recognized and catalogued by the Smithsonian American Arts Museum.

In May of 2010, Linda graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Art Therapy from Marian University in Fond du Lac, WI, where she was the recipient of several awards for academic performance and community involvement.

During her undergraduate studies, while pursuing a Theology minor, Linda became interested in transpersonal psychology and the spiritual aspect of healing.  She is trained in a variety of energy-based healing modalities and incorporates themes of metaphysics and spirituality into her artwork.

In addition to her work as a fine artist, Linda is an Expressive Arts Facilitator.  She is the owner and lead facilitator at The Art Spa, in Antioch, Illinois, where she assists others in using the creative process for personal development.

Through my study of Art Therapy I have realized a core aspect of wellness is self-awareness and self-love. Focusing on beauty-  wherever it's found; in nature, in other people, in artwork- a person can begin to recognize his or her own beauty more easily. This is one way art heals.

Too many of us go through life feeling as if we are somehow not "good enough". We are surrounded by messages that reinforce that belief and bombarded by media images that showcase the negative side of the human experience.

The images I create, from the complex abstract textures, colorful, intricate details to serene expansive landscapes, are inspired by the intrinsic goodness of the human spirit and our intimate connection to the rest of creation. 

By creating positive images and sharing them, I feel that in my own small way, I can help bring about positive change. Each painting is a prayer for healing and widespread wellness, as I believe this is attainable through practiced attention to beauty, which inspires love for self and others.
