Opie and Linda O'Brien are mixed-media artists and authors, who enjoy pushing the envelope in myriad ways, using organic, recycled and found materials because they seem to have a voice that must be heard, a story that must be told, and a life that would otherwise be too soon forgotten. They consider themselves "caretakers of the mundane and the ordinary" and their unique offerings include jewelry, dada dolls, handmade and altered books, metal collage and assemblage, printmaking, encaustic, digital art and photography, iPad-ography, sketching, watercolor, original music and more.
