Her images also allow a glimpse into her many travels in Africa (both Senegal and Egypt), the Caribbean, Central America, Istanbul, Mexico, France, Switzerland and across the United States. Her bright oils capture a moment in time. In 1989 in Kentucky, she was asked to paint an energy portrait of a friend. She had no idea what was going to happen. The gift was the ability to paint the “essence energy” of a person, place or emotion - a design/color or something the person can relate to, their inner self, the essence.

The library’s glass display cases located in the foyer will showcase the designer’s Pieces In Time Jewelry collection, as well as his personal collection of antique beads and fossils. The collection features handcrafted necklaces and earrings combining naturally formed elements with historic artifacts and treasures. He personally selects, shapes and polishes each component. For example, his signature piece, the Journey in Time necklace, features rare fossils, semi-precious stones and ancient artifacts combined with luminous, multihued Venetian beads. “In choosing individual elements for my jewelry, I look for pieces with an intriguing past, whether a fossil, stone, bead or artifact ... each has its own story, and when you string all of these bits and pieces of past worlds and lives together, you have a living history,” said Linke.
