She enjoys painting both representational and abstract art, using a variety of tools. Textures are an important feature in her art. Linda also enjoys the challenge of constructive art, both the search for components , and then planning how to put it all together to convey the essence of her message. Linda is inspired by the beauty of our unique environment here on Southern Vancouver Island. The ocean, coastline, beaches, rainforest, and view across the Strait to the Olympic Mountains are all influences in Linda's artwork. She infuses her paintings with color and energy.
