LOVE IS

A new show of work by Sally Linder 

May 27 – July 27, 2022

Love is not a burden, but a transmission of faith, an eternal instinct of our Spirit.  When we love we hold all as sacred. We cry for the little birds in pain and sing with them in the joy.

Love is the opening of our hearts to the truths we do not see.

Love is transcendence of the habits and standards we are taught.

Love is our eternal being, that immortal state that is our true Self.

Love is community when we breathe together as one with the Universe.

Sally Linder’s paintings show us the many forms and ask us to meditate on the meaning of love.  Love of course comes in many shapes – physical love, old love, puppy love, emotional lust, faithful friendship, love of others, love of self, and painful love – as our lives take us through the muck and mire of the Inferno. The stresses, the fears, the hates of the Purgatorio follow us as karmic shadows.  They are the transient world we live our daily lives in.

Yet with Sally Linder’s paintings, we are filled with ecstatic beauty, a sense of transcendent love that allows us to dissolve who we think we are.  It is through this love that our hearts leap out to the eternal, to our immortal Self, to that which is pure and free.
