Linda Bell
Botanical art is rooted in the careful observation of nature, capturing plants with a precision and detail that reveal their quiet essence. It is within this tradition that Linda Bell, an artist from North Hatley, finds her inspiration, drawing on classical botanical illustration techniques to create a harmonious dialogue between scientific accuracy and artistic sensitivity. For her, each work becomes an invitation to contemplate the quiet force of nature, and to preserve its beauty.

Description : Created in graphite and watercolor, A Place to Rest illustrates a fleeting stopover of Danaus plexippus on a branch of Pinus resinosa during its migration.
The contrast between the delicacy of the monarch and the complex structure of the pine is an invitation to explore every detail of the artwork and appreciate the interdependence of the natural world.
Want a closer look? The artwork will be on display at Pub and resto la Cie Vilandré in North Hatley from August 6th through the 9th during the festival.
Artist / Festival split : The artist and the festival will each receive 50% of the sale price, up to the estimated value. If the final sale price exceeds the estimated value, the North Hatley Jazz Festival will receive 100% of the difference.
