Linda loves painting still life and outdoor settings from direct observation, using vibrant pigments and complex imagery. She chooses subjects primarily for their color and pattern, as well as their reflective and transparent qualities. She often picks items that have sentimental value or conjure up a fond memory. “I hope my art conveys a vision of optimism and brightness.”
