Lola Shepard is thrilled to present THE SPIRITS THAT LEND STRENGTH, a virtual solo exhibition featuring the evocative, otherworldly photomontages of LINDA PLAISTED. The exhibition debuts online at the gallery’s website on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM and runs through July 31, 2025.

THE SPIRITS THAT LEND STRENGTH showcases the inimitable photomontage process of Linda Plaisted, a multidisciplinary American artist whose work spans photography, painting, and mixed media. Approaching her artmaking as both an artist and a historian, Plaisted integrates these practices to illuminate personal and collective narratives, weaving translucent layers of memory and meaning into each piece. Guided by her commitment to champion women and Mother Earth, she uses her art to transcend the boundaries of traditional media and reveal deeper truths.

The exhibition features work from three recent series completed between 2024 and 2025: The Lost Landscapes, How the Light Gets In, and Todos Santos. Each body of work embodies Plaisted’s unique synthesis of original photography and paintings with found images, ancestral documents, and collected ephemera. Her pioneering compositions evoke a profound sense of history and myth, honoring the untold stories of women and seeking to heal ancestral wounds. By collaging her own imagery with historical and vernacular materials, she creates digital mixed-media works that intertwine personal narratives, folklore, and dreamlike symbolism.
