About this artwork
Robirda was a guinea fowl that lived at the artist's studio. At one point she and the bird and were the only ones left on the property as it was slated for destruction. She would come into the studio and keep Mitchell company as they both worried about the future. She thought maybe the bird knew what was to happen. Fortunately, the old mill property was saved and they were able to stay.

« Collage allows me to combine my painted and sculptural imagery, resulting in pieces that are layered and dream-like. »
Linda Mitchell is a prizewinning American artist with international exposure. Her mixed media paintings and installations are populated by animals- both real and imagined. In these narrative works, the animals often become surrogates for human beings and their emotional lives. The paintings are often highly textured and made with painted and photographic images, fabric, wood, glass, and found objects. They coalesce into intricate and surreal scenes, reflecting life’s emotional complexity.
