Originally from Gaylordsville Connecticut Linda Eaton Marcille has been active in art from the time she was very young. After graduating from New Milford High School she studied Photography through New York Institute of Photography while she worked with cancer patients in a hospice program through a local VNA. In the early 1980's she moved to Hawaii where she apprenticed in photography and did freelance photography and portrait work. Upon returning to Connecticut Linda managed a photo supply and processing store while showing her photography in galleries and art shows. Linda married her husband Don in 1991 and moved to Vermont in 1993 where she and her husband lived a self-sufficient life on their 25-acre homestead on the Canadian border. During this time Linda began making handmade paper, and doing mono-prints and lino-prints which she sold at shows and galleries. She also created a comic strip for the Green Mountian Trading Post and wrote articles and published her photographs in homesteading and farming magazines. The Marcille's sold their farm in 2000. It was then that Linda began to explore silk painting.
Linda's paintings on silk are bright, whimsical vignettes of everyday life. They instill a joyful childlike response in the viewer and are meant to provoke happy, healing emotions. Linda also creates hand-painted and block printed silk scarves and ties.
The creative process has been a huge healing force in Linda’s life. In Native-American legend the crow represents, an omen of change, and is a shape-shifter. Crow medicine encourages people to shape shift their old realities into their future self. So out of a time of darkness in her life "Crow House Studio" was born.
Linda lives and works with her husband Don and their three dogs in Brattleboro, VT.
