Linette Hernandez
FEATURED ARTIST (ARTWORK ON DISPLAY)
My name is Linette Hernandez and I’m a local Mexican-American artist originally from Granite City, IL now based in St. Louis, MO. My mediums of choice are pen and paper and acrylics, but I also dabble in others as well.
The art I create is eclectic and does not like to conform to one style. Mental and emotional health are common themes in my creations. My artworks range from ordinary and benign, to grotesque and in your face. I base most of my art on emotion and reaction so i am inclined towards improvisation as a part of my process since emotion is quite volatile. I aim to try to capture it and convey its complexity. I like to play with color theory and apply it in my technique when creating abstract, realistic, and everything-in-between art.
I started drawing when I was 3 years old, and didn’t commit to pursuing art full time until a couple years ago. My hope is to convey the spectrum of human emotion (triumph, struggle, etc.) from my perspective and connect and bring catharsis to those who have similar battles with their own emotional health.

Featured Artwork by LINETTE HERNANDEZ
Featured Poem by Poet R.T. Freer
“Remember Me”
Rough around the edges
With burrs on my feet
Sliding down a hill
A rolling stone has no moss, the pariah told me
I'm covered in grit
Looking for a den of foxes or thieves
Anyplace to sleep
I'm on the bounds of civilization
Exiled and foreign, like a childhood memory
A mother and her child, blessed from birth
Nevermind the prayers to the Virgin Mary
For ten percent she lives in community
Enshrined in privilege from labor and delivery
Under recessed lights and paisley designs in the nursery
Meadows stand the test of time
Even in the Sommes
Hollow as a shopping mall
The words I speak hold the weight of legacy
Just how it used to be
The story in my heart beats out of sync to the pounding in my head
But a child born into a golden nest
Receives a fortune before her eyes open
Remember me
