Linda Gray

Gesher Human Services – Creative Expressions Program

Artist Bio

My name is Linda Gray. I was born an artist. My dad owned the Detroit Film Lab where my family worked together to film and develop Detroit Lions footage.

Three years after my husband passed away in a tragic car accident, I was blessed to get involved with Gesher Human Services. My eyes were opened to many different art media; from photography to wet felting, sewing, and the culinary arts. I have been able to express my creativity through all the different opportunities Gesher has to offer.

I took up painting for the peace of mind, and painting helped my love for lighthouses come to life. I’m drawn to the light and how it changes from morning to night, creating reflections, highlights and shadows, all from the sunshine and moonlight.

Program Description

The Creative Expressions Program offers education, enrichment, cultural experiences, and professional arts opportunities to participants of Gesher Human Services. In partnership with community organizations, we provide arts-based classes and activities across the visual, performing, and literary arts. Our programming is guided by the needs and creative aspirations of our participants, evolving every few months to best support their goals.

Artwork: Fishing In Morning’s Light

10×8

$60.00

Alt Text: This vibrant painting depicts a solitary fisherman in a small boat on a calm body of water. The sky is ablaze with fiery oranges and reds, suggesting it’s either sunset or sunrise. The fisherman, silhouetted against the bright sky, is casting a line into the water. The surface of the water is rippled, reflecting the colors of the sky. The overall mood of the painting is peaceful and serene.
