The Friends of the Clarkesville Library welcomes acclaimed folk artist and author Linda Anderson as the featured speaker at its annual Book and Author Luncheon at noon Saturday, March 16, at Piedmont Colleges Brookside Dining Room. Anderson, a self-taught artist, was raised in the shadow of Mount Yonah, and many of her works depict scenes from her childhood. Her book, “Flashes of Memory: An Appalachian Self-Portrait,” is a collection of paintings and comments as presented in her one-woman show at the High Museum of Arts Folk and Photography Galleries in the winter of 2004.
