Linda Lawry

My Bio

Linda was born on the West Coast of Canada in beautiful British Columbia, in the small town of Port Alberni on Vancouver Island in 1947. She spent her childhood on the Island until she was 16 when her family embarked on a new life in Honolulu, Hawaii.

After Linda graduated High School in Honolulu, she moved to London, England for a year where she and her Aunt explored the rolling landscapes. After returning from the UK back to Hawaii, she met her husband and started her family. While raising her family, Linda discovered her love for art in 1975 where she signed up for her first set of art classes. Linda's love of art was put on hold while she raised her family. She and her family lived in Hawaii where they owned horse stables until they moved back to Canada in 1983.

After retiring in 2015, Linda's husband, Paul, encouraged her to rekindle her love of art by signing up for more Art classes. These classes encouraged Linda to channel her love of landscapes onto the canvas. Inspired by the many beautiful landscapes that shaped her early life, Linda concentrates on creating breathtaking saturated landscapes.

"It was Fall and the leaves were a beautiful colour. As I stood admiring the colours, I envisioned a single leaf on a beach. From there, I picture the tide and the wet sand merging together darkening the watered portion of the beach."
