Welcome to the studio.

I'm Linda Plaisted, a classically-trained American painter, photographer and mixed media artist who has exhibited my work in galleries and museums throughout North America. I've been a pioneer in contemporary photographic illustration and photomontage. In 2000, I founded Many Muses Studio in the Washington, DC area as a place to explore the marriage of many media.

Each piece of artwork I create is layered by hand with images I have captured in my original photography, drawings, paintings and collected ephemera to create mixed media pieces with subtle depth and dreamlike detail. My unique vision for the landscapes in which we live, reverence for the natural world and ability to conjure bittersweet emotion from calm, uncluttered compositions is my trademark narrative style.
