Join multidisciplinary artist Linda Kauss for an evening celebrating Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings, a deeply personal work rooted in creative exploration and intuition. Meet the artist, hear selected readings, and view the artwork behind the book. Copies of Just Looking will be available for purchase and signing.

Originally from the Midwest and now based in Rockport, MA, Linda Kauss works across charcoal, pen and ink, pastels, watercolor, printmaking, and sculpture. Her deepest passion, however, is graphite drawing—a medium she credits with unlocking her most intuitive and creative expression.

Just Looking began in 2005 as an exercise in creative play. With no set outcome in mind, Kauss explored the movement of graphite and the subtle power of erasure, allowing organic forms to emerge. The result is a series of unexpected, evocative images—moments of discovery that have shaped her ongoing artistic practice.

As her work evolved, it began to draw interest from the health and wellness community. While exploring publication, Kauss faced a serious health challenge that paused the project—but not her creativity. She continued drawing and eventually returned to the book with renewed purpose. In 2025, with encouragement from her artistic community, Just Looking became a reality.

“Every page invites a quiet searching,” says Nella Lush, President of the Experimental Art Group. “There is a deep presence within her work—something both meditative and profoundly moving.”

Kauss is a member of Rocky Neck Art Colony, Rockport Art Association & Museum, North Shore Art Association, and the Experimental Art Group. Her work is also exhibited at The Salted Cod Art House.
