Lin Bentley Keeling’s coiled basketry vessels and tapestries are improvisational, inspired by music, and the movement and interplay of color. “These abstract compositions of visual music manifest themselves in my work and embody the positive energies of beauty, joy, grace and harmony I believe are vital to our world.” Keeling’s work has been shown in national and regional exhibits and is part of several private collections. She is the author of Color Journaling: Engaging & Expanding Your Creativity While Playing with Color, teaches her basketry and weaving techniques online, and writes about her studio process and about the relationship between creativity and spirituality in the 21st century.
