Office Hours with Linda Pouliot

Saturday, November 14, 2026
11:00 am–2:00 pm

For one late morning into early afternoon, November Artist-in-Residence Linda Pouliot sets up in the Maker Room with paper and pencil and draws whoever sits down across from her. Each pose takes three to five minutes, about the length of a song, which is just enough time to talk about her painted-paper collages, the rooms, docks and poolsides she keeps returning to, or nothing much at all. The drawing is yours to keep: a 4 x 6 inch portrait, made in the room by the artist whose work hangs on our walls all month.

Linda Pouliot
Painter

Linda Pouliot paints quiet mornings, long afternoons and the intimacy of a private moment. Bright, saturated color carries an easy optimism through her interiors and landscapes, bathed in the clear light California is known for.

She paints her papers first, then cuts and arranges them into simplified forms that find the small geometries of lived spaces. Pouliot received her BFA cum laude in fine art from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and lives and works in Portola Valley. Her residency is presented with Rena Charles Gallery in Healdsburg.
