Boranup
Gallery

Linda is an established Perth based artist exhibiting for many years now. She is an enthusiastic pastellist now branching out into acrylic/oil on canvas to excite her with experimentally new ideas.

Her subject matter varies greatly; from landscapes and seascapes, watery reflections and capturing that nostalgia with real people in holiday situations. Having recently become a grandmother for the first time, she has discovered a love of baby portraiture!

Linda’s work is continually evolving, her journey forever seeking to portray light and its effect in atmosphere, luminosity and colour. As a silent witness, immersed in nature’s beauty, emotions are evoked and so the desire to share.

Over the past few years she has realized seven solo exhibitions and over 20 joint exhibitions with inspiring fellow artists. An accomplished artist, she has received over 140 major art awards within the state.
