Artist's Statement

I am a mixed media artist who primarily "paints" with textiles. By dyeing and adding paint and other surface treatments to recycled fabrics, I create unique wall art. November and December can sometimes feel bleak in southern Ontario. While our souls impatiently wait for the Christmas season, our bodies crave sunshine and flowers. This collection of stylized florals is intended to warm our hearts with the anticipation of spring.

Artist's Biography

Born and raised in Etobicoke, Ontario, Linda acquired her love of textiles from her mother and grandmother. After learning basic sewing skills, needlepoint, rug hooking, cross stitch and quilting were added to her repertoire.

Upon retirement from her business career, Linda undertook textile art technique courses at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario. These courses introduced her to a group of like-minded women who helped expand her vocabulary beyond patterns and commercial fabrics.

Linda's unique approach to her art includes fabric dyeing, printing and hand stitching. Exposure to acrylic painting and art composition courses have further expanded Linda's work, with this medium recently incorporated into her collages.

Linda works from her studio in downtown Kingston.
