On September 11, 2001 Linda Lee was a fifty-two year old Florida resident, mother of three and grandmother of eight. She had no formal art training or other experience in the field, and she had no psychic abilities of which she was aware.

Two days following Nine Eleven Linda offered a prayer to her deceased great-grandmother believed by Linda to be her guardian angel and with whom Linda spent much of her formative childhood years. The prayer asked for a sign or other indication that perhaps the catastrophic events were the beginning of the tribulation period foretold in the Book of Revelations of the Bible.

Days later as Linda was watching television coverage of the aftermath of the Nine Eleven events an overwhelming urge came upon her to pick up a nearby pencil and piece of scrap paper. Spontaneously, she commenced to draw images on the paper formed, not in her own mind, but by her hand seemingly guided by an external influence. These images developed into Linda’s present body of art.

Linda was moved to draw on a somewhat unpredictable schedule always guided by an outside force. But, when the creative urge surfaced she eagerly submitted. There never was a preconceived or conceptual idea of the drawing when commenced, and when the creative urge ended, not of Linda’s volition, the drawing was finished. Each drawing was commenced by simple lines being placed on paper and then Linda saw images in these lines and she expanded on them.

Linda’s first five drawings appear to be of a demonic nature with obvious beastly imagery. Drawings over the next few months produced images which Linda believes may depict man’s earthly sins against God’s word. Linda’s later drawings became more surreal, but the common aspect of all the drawings is the fact that her hand was always guided, not by a preconception of what she was about to draw, but rather by the same outside influence which guided her hand in the days immediately following Nine Eleven.

At a much later date Linda became aware of the concept of channeling in the psychic world. Much has been written about the exact nature of channeling and its relationship to people who have psychic abilities, especially those who profess an ability to be in contact with departed souls or spirits and maintain some level of contact with them. The psychic can be referred to as the “channel.” The communication from the departed soul or spirit can take the form of words, thoughts, imagery, or other nonverbal expressions. The channel interprets these communications which the channel can express in the same fashion or, in some cases, in art form.

Linda now questions if unknowingly, unwittingly, and unwillingly she became a channel after Nine Eleven receiving communications from entities at a higher spirit level representing the forces of good and evil which came in conflict that day and, possibly, even an answer from her great-grandmother.
