This December, Gaia is honored to welcome the radiant, spirited work of North Carolina artist Linda Starr, whose paintings burst with color, confidence, and a kind of joyful intensity that feels tailor-made for the season.
A native New Yorker with a decades-long creative career, Linda brings an intuitive, expressive style shaped by life in the film industry, years as a visual display designer, and private study with renowned NYC artist Carla Re’. Her paintings—whether the fierce presence of Ruth Bader Ginsburg crowned in regality, or dreamlike landscapes filled with foxes, chameleons, and celestial skies—are lush, layered worlds that invite you to pause, wander, and wonder.
Linda’s work marries whimsy with depth, imagination with empowerment. Her compositions ripple with motifs of resilience, feminine strength, and the transformative magic of color. From intricate patterning to bold symbolism, each piece carries the unmistakable mark of an artist who has lived many artistic lives and distilled them into a singular, unmistakable voice.
Join us Saturday, December 6th, as we unveil Linda’s new collection and celebrate a month-long exhibition of her work at Gaia. Expect warmth, conversation, inspiration—and a gallery space alive with color.
And to make the weekend even more special, we’re thrilled to welcome Debe Dohrer Jewelry for a trunk show the same weekend. Debe’s one-of-a-kind pieces, crafted from antique beads, coins, and talismans, pair beautifully with the energy of Linda’s art. Together, they create an atmosphere of bold creativity and thoughtful craftsmanship—two artists, two mediums, one unforgettable weekend.
Come for the art, stay for the sparkle, and step into a December filled with imagination.
