MICHAEL ZAKIAN, FORMER DIRECTOR, FREDRICK WEISSMAN MUSEUM OF ART
No image embodies the spirit and credo of shamanic practice like the single tree, standing alone, possibly bearing leaves and/or fruit but invariably revealing its essential structure. Having pursued study of shamanism for decades, going on power journeys and vision quests in widely disparate locales, painter Linda Jacobson focuses naturally, almost instinctively, on the shamanic tree as her basic subject …

COURT OF THE WIND’S EYE, Artweek
Clayton Eshleman, American poet, essayist, translator & editor.
To be clear in reflecting on this art, let’s recall that our word window is based on Old Norse vindauga, meaning “wind eye,” and that curtain goes back to Latin cohors, or “court.” Window, as an eye in the wind, suggests an opening for air to enter. It is also, perhaps more immediately, that which translucently or opaquely seals us off from what thus becomes an “outside.” …
VISIONS MAGAZINE -- ART QUARTERLY
LINDA JACOBSON At Mendenhall Gallery, Whittier College
Katya Williamson, Writer & Author
Integrating, in her words, the “tangible imagery of the visible world with the emotional life of inner states,” Linda Jacobson’s paintings are filled with mythic and surrealistic apparitions.

Stephanie Sanchez, Artist & writer
Linda Jacobson’s chalk drawings on view at Bolen Gallery, in Santa Monica, describe mutability and suggest the process of transcendence in the context of landscape. Most of the drawings were done out of doors and were inspired by a visit she made to the Camargue area of southern France, near Arles, which attracted artists such as Van Gogh and Cezanne …
LINDA JACOBSON, Los Angeles Times
Robert Pincus, Art Critic
In all Linda jacobson’s paintings and drawings, the viewer is placed in the same position—gazing out of a window partially shrouded by curtains. The analogy here links window to painting, telling us that her art will frame the world and illuminate it …
VOYAGELA, Interview with Linda Jacobson
Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours?…
"... the feminine energy – which doesn't mean male or female but the loving, nurturing, creative energy – is the next phase of the planet. I think that's where we're headed. Being able to be in that place of coming from within and expressing that flow."
