Statement: "I define my work as sharp and clean, nightmarish, macabre, weird and slightly sexy. I like balancing the real with the unreal. And skulls. Lots of skulls."- Linda Ronning

About the Work/Connections: Linda describes her work perfectly. It's clean and crisp, yet haunting and nightmarish. Her work isn't shockingly morbid or disturbing, yet like this piece, it has a creepy feeling that makes it difficult to ignore. She uses a lot of classic horror subjects in her work such as this baby doll, as well as puppets, insects, etc. Her work is kept simple, which in my opinion adds to the eerie feel.
