Latest Gallery Exhibit

On Display May 3 - June 29 2025

Glencoe Mansion will host the artwork of Sam Linkous from May 3 through June 29. A resident of Blacksburg, Virginia, Sam is a multitalented and versatile fine artist and musician. On paper, Sam creates whimsical and unconventional pieces of art using inks and colors, one at a time, which are never reproduced.

There is an opening reception on Thursday May 8th, from 5:30pm to 7pm. The event is free to attend and suitable for all ages.

Sam Linkous’ inspiration for his current series of art, consisting of watercolor and ink paintings, began in 2020 as a way to provide something colorful and positive to post on his social media page when everything seemed to be negative. Posting his drawings on his Facebook feed, the positive reactions he received encouraged him both to continue drawing and to post daily.

Sam’s current work revolves around flowers that grow in his imagination, but he often incorporates items such as musical instruments, old cars and trucks, churches, and barns, or whatever else comes to mind, all of which represent his imagination and love of color. These works are never reproduced – each item he is showing, which includes framed works, matted works, and greeting cards – are completely one-of-a-kind originals.
