ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I was so moved by Khaled Hosseini’s novel, The Kite Runner, that I created this piece to remember it by. This was the unforgettable and heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies. Khaled Hosseini and his wife, Roya, own the first print of this piece. Attached is our correspondence about it. The original is mounted on a wood panel, protected with two coats of archival satin varnish. This removes the need for expensive framing and the glare of glass, adding a contemporary allure to a graphite piece that is Ready to Hang. **Proceeds from the the original and prints to help the The Khaled Hosseini Foundation -

Linda Klein
United States
Linda Klein, a nature-loving artist hailing from the Bay Area, California, embarks on a soulful journey that harmonizes realism and abstract expression. Unveiling her artistic flair in preschool, Linda's earliest creative adventures prompted her parents to enroll her in local art classes—a bid to save their home from toddler graffiti and nurture her burgeoning talent. Nestled in the wild beauty of West Marin since 2009, Linda draws inspiration from her surroundings. Her artistic evolution mirrors the diverse landscapes she calls home—ranging from detailed graphite drawings to vibrant, ecologically themed pieces infused with recycled collage elements. Linda's unique process involves mounting watercolor paper onto handcrafted wood panels which are often created by her equally talented woodworking husband. This technique imposes a modern eco-conscious approach that bypasses traditional framing. Linda's art is a personal reflection, resonating with the rhythms of nature. With an unwavering commitment to continuing her creative education and a dance between documentation and new realities, Linda Klein's journey is a deeply personal ode to the beauty of our planet. Contact Linda Klein from her website to set up a personalized Home Art Studio tour in her light and roomy space, rain or shine:
