With intuitive energy and the use of bold strokes, light, and texture, Linda strives to capture the mood and emotion of her environment. Her paintings appear vividly representational, but upon closer inspection, one can see the intimate nuances and abstract tendencies which elevate and enrich her work." Growing up an 'air force brat', Linda travelled extensively across Canada, and settled in Alberta. Her creative ability was readily evident as a child and eventually was able to follow her destiny. Her education consists of formal training in Red Deer College (Art &Design) and U Of C BFA program as well as numerous workshops with acclaimed artists. Linda is a prolific artist and enjoys a variety of tools (her favorite being the palette knife). Living in Calgary and painting full-time, she has enjoyed many successes and accolades. in Canada she is represented by Mountain Galleries in Banff, Jasper, Whistler and Stratford. In The USA, The Bronze Coast Gallery in Oregon and the Frame of Reference Gallery in Whitefish Montana. Linda's paintings are enjoyed in both corporate and private collections across Canada and world-wide. INSPIRATION All my landscapes are inspired in some way or another by the environment surrounding me whether it be a specific mountain, waterfall or an abstract shape. If my heart skips a beat I take a second look to absorb and analyze. The simplest things capture my attention ...the way light bounces off the water and rocks in a stream, the contrast of snow against the warm under brush, creating abstracted forms.....it all sparks an emotional chord. The environment stimulates your senses as you breath the fresh air taking in all the sights and sounds; a truly awe inspiring and humbling experience. These paintings are my personal response to these surroundings both on location and from my studio. SEMI ABSTRACT WORK I love painting my 'semi- abstract forest' series. Creating these works are always an exploration, as I never quite know what the outcome will be. The freedom from not having to do an exact representation allows for greater creative expression; making the process that is much more satisfying. Creating Art is about Creating Magic.
