Saul Alexander Gallery Art Exhibit The Saul Alexander Gallery presents “Scissors, Thread/Pencil, Paint,” an exhibit of mixed-media works by Linda Elksnin, during the month of February. Appreciation for the textile art of the Kuna Indians inspired Elksnin to create the works in this exhibit. The Kuna people are known for their cut fabric art called mola, a type of reverse appliqué, in which images are created by cutting away top layers of fabric to reveal the colors of bottom layers. Elksnin’s mola-inspired paintings are created by layering watercolor and gouache, then building up texture with colored pencils. People, animals, birds, and fish are the subjects of her paintings.
