Linda Ravella
Linda Ravella is a professional Artist who resides in Franklin, Massachusetts. She is an oil painter who specializes in painting images of familiar New England scenes, with approximately 30 such images available as limited edition prints, having one of the larger inventories among her peers. Her other specialty is doing commission works and prints for prominent Historical Hotels. Among her clients are: The Mount Washington Hotel; Bretton Woods, NH, The Woodstock Inn; Woodstock, Vt, The Wayside Inn; Sudbury, Ma, Top Notch Resort; Stowe, Vt and Cranwell Resort, Spa, & Golf Club; Lenox, Ma.
Another customer base is the "Corporate World" Linda assists corporations with decorating their walls with her images. The art work is popular with corporations because not only does it beautify the corporate space, but serves as an introduction to New England for out of town visitors.
One of the fastest growing lines are Giclee prints. These are reproductions of Linda's original paintings on canvas and are reproduced to any size the customer wants. However, most collectors prefer a reproduction to the same size as the original oil painting. Therefore for a fraction of the cost of an original, one gets a print that cannot be distinguished from the original. The average price of a giclee is between $500.00 and $1000.00, versus paying up to $8,000.00 for an original oil painting.
Linda feels that technique is the craft of painting; but art is truly the expression.
Her works can be found in public and private collections in China, Ireland, Australia and Germany, with the main concentration in the Midwest and Northeast of the United States.
"To me, painting involves capturing the essence of the uniqueness of what I see and feel in the subject. My paintings are feelings captured at a moment in time"
