With some 10,000 species of birds and somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 species of fish in the world today, Linda White has plenty of subject matter.
The Signal Mountain artist, whose exhibition “Water Lovers” will be on display during June at the In-Town Gallery on Frazier Avenue, creates art quilts, primarily populated by birds and fish.
“It’s what I like,” she says. “There’s so much variety in those two species. I haven’t really run out of interest in that yet.”
White grew up in Colorado and spent vacations with her family fishing in the state’s mountain lakes and around flowing streams in Montana and Wyoming. Her fascination with birds began with having pet birds and watching the antics of the birds in her garden.
