The 2012 Cain Park Arts Festival will feature the work of 150 artists, and Cleveland Heights Patch has selected a few to tell you about. We'll provide a brief profile of one artist each day leading up to and during the event.

Artist Linda Adato specializes in etching landscapes, especially the urban ones all around her at her home in Brooklyn, NY, but she doesn't pigeonhole herself to one place.

The rooftops and trees she can see from her back porch, the financial district and ancient ruins have all served as inspiration for her work.

"I work in the printmaking technique of intaglio in which the areas etched are below the surface of the plate. I am attracted to the dramatic interplay of light and shadow which can be achieved in the etching process," Adato wrote in her artist's statement on her website.

The Cain Park Arts Festival runs Friday, July 13 through Sunday, July 15. Admission is free Friday and $5 per day Saturday and Sunday for attendees 13 years old and up. Children 12 and under are free all weekend. Hours are 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
