linda wilder
Artist
Canada
"With intuitive energy and the use of bold strokes, light, and texture, Linda strives to capture the mood and emotion of her environment. Her paintings appear vividly representational, but upon closer inspection, one can see the intimate nuances and abstract tendencies which elevate and enrich her work."

"Linda is a prolific artist and enjoys a variety of diverse tools and subjects, but always comes back to her Alberta roots. Her education consists of formal art training at Red Deer College and U of C, as well as numerous workshops with acclaimed artists. She is the recipient of three Calgary Stampede belt buckle awards including the 2010 ‘Collectors choice award’. She is an active participant in the art community and has shown in various galleries and juried shows. Linda’s paintings are enjoyed in both corporate and private collections across Canada and abroad. Linda is represented exclusively by Mountain Galleries, in Banff, Jasper and Whistler.”

Current Residence: Calgary, alberta canada
Favourite genre of music: oldies, soft rock, some country, some zazz and blues
Favourite style of art: traditional, impressionism
Interests
What a year! My partnership with Mountain Galleries has proven very fruitful. I was delighted the other day when I delivered 12 new paintings and 7 of them sold in under 5 hours! They have sold 96 since January and I'm confident that number will reach 100 before the end of the year. In a down economy and more artists steering away from commerical galleries, I feel very lucky. Mountain Galleries is doing an amazing job in promoting and selling my work, and I feel communication and trust is the key to this great partnership.

Thanks to everyone who has viewed, commented and faved my work. Hugs!

Love your paintings - after seeing just a few I was reminded so much of the couple of weeks I had in Canmore a couple of winters ago, so no surprise to see you're based in Calgary! Keep up the great work :-)

I was in Banff and Canmore last June with my significant other and your paintings definitely bring back wonderful memories of being there. Thanks so much! :-)

Your landscapes are so amazing. Nice to see the beauty of the grand northern country called Canada. Greetings from Ukraine.

Beautiful.

You are one of the Very Few who is a Legitimate Heir to the title "Impressionist"...

So many others aspire, but they just didn't seem to "Get It" in the viewing stage, so of course they couldn't DO Art in that Genre...Or Tradition...Or whatver you want to say...
