Linden Eller is an artist

and educator living in Vermont.

Linden Eller (b.1984, Phoenix, AZ) spent her youth in the urban Sonoran desert before moving to Southern California to obtain her BA in Studio Art. She’s since lived and worked across Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the northeast region of the US.

Linden’s work explores a dichotomy between memory architecture and the present experience. Fully enamored by mixed media, she uses a variety of materials to create, including paper, found fragments, transparencies, sewing thread, paint, pencil, ink, and pastels. In honoring the “now,” she often will incorporate items from her immediate surroundings, such as plants, petals, tea leaves, receipts from pockets, scattered desk papers, even elements from her beverage or snack. This also supports her aim to increase sustainability in creation - giving purpose to the plain, trash bound items, and renaming them as curious offerings of texture, or poignancy.

Her work acts as a gentle nudge to loosen our hold on the past, celebrating the science that memory is full of alterations, renewals, and inaccuracies. Embracing intuition, experimentation, and play, many parts of her process are intentionally unplanned - an exercise in mindfulness and acceptance of each moment and decision. She thinks of her work as layered field recordings that represent a oneness – multiple perspectives and repetitions of the same shared story. Richard Powers says, “Memory is always a collaboration in progress.. You’re not just you.”

Linden’s work has been published and exhibited internationally. She also works as an illustrator and art educator. She currently lives in Mount Holly, Vermont, with her partner, son, and cat Simone.
