Linton stands among the pioneering artists worldwide who have ventured into the realm of Cymatics (sound made visible) In 2020, she pioneered her signature cymatics fixing technique, capturing and immortalising the ethereal beauty of sound vibrations into physical paintings. With a deep fascination for the intricate geometric patterns formed by sound waves, Linton embarked on a journey to translate these cymatics patterns onto canvas, allowing them to be cherished and admired when hung on walls. The technique took Linton three years to develop making these cymatics paintings truly the first of their kind.
Linton draws on her background in gold leaf gilding and traditional glass gilding (verre eglomise) techniques to paint sonic waves onto both glass and wood panel paintings. She utilises historical painting techniques with fine art pigments, genuine gold powders and precious metal leaf create luster and luxury.
