 LOS CIELOS/THE HEAVENS-CEMA California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives
As an emerging artist in the early 80s, Linda began exploring relationships to nature and the spiritual legacy of her Mexican heritage with three dimensional, mixed media constructions, from which evolved her ŒTree People¹ series where human forms were created from small trees, leaves and branches.
Linda's art is among the most indigenous-based of any of the Chicano artists of Los Angeles.  Her art works over the past twenty-five years evoke the spirit of a Meso-American shaman chronicling the story of her people's creation and journey through transcendent time and space, especially its women.
In 1978, she completed a Master of Fine Arts at California State University Long Beach.  However, it was her experience seeing a Native American festival in her twenties and her participation in the burgeoning Chicano artistic community that embarked her on a life path that led to the creation of Los Cielos.
