Original Artwork
customized to your space
Nothing can transform a room and create a wonderful ambience like a beautiful painting. Wether you are looking to complement the color scheme or add a pop, dash or splash of color to a neutral palette, original art speaks volumes.
Looking for a piece that invites calm feels? Or perhaps offers a unique perspective... maybe a recognizable scene or one that stirs up your imagination. Selecting the right art can be like finding a hidden treasure.
Many of my paintings that you see on my website are painted small, often en plein air - out on location. However, they can easily be scaled up and painted on larger canvases to fit a custom size. I enjoy creating custom artwork for my clients - helping them bring their vision to life. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your upcoming project. I would be happy to help you transform your space into a truly unique surroundings - one you can't wait to get home to!

Commissioned Pet Portrait - "Apollo" - for Jim and Deb Kerr
|
"We absolutely love this painting, Linda. You really captured the essence of Apollo. He loves hiking and being in the mountains. The photo this is based on was taken on what was probably his last big hike. He's 15 now and doesn't have the strength in his legs to get up the mountains anymore. This is how we'll remember him long after he's gone. King of all that he surveys..."

Whether painting in my studio or outdoors, I strive to create paintings that communicate confidence in execution and exhibits a fresh, intuitive and unique perspective. Seeking to interpret the world in a way that will not only inspire others but to evoke or suggest images, memories, and emotions. For me, painting is a way of communicating, connecting with others and a never ending journey of discovering and exploring.
