Linda McFetridge
Linda's creative process flows naturally between landscapes and abstracts, driven by spontaneity rather than overthinking. She allows instinct and intuition to guide her, discovering images as she paints.
From the depths of her subconscious, landscapes emerge as echoes of memories and impressions etched over time. Each stroke of colour and form is inspired by the interplay of light within the natural environment and the intricate tapestry of the native bush. She is captivated by the role of psychology in perception—the dance of light and shadow, the carefully chosen colour palette, the use of impressionist techniques, and the precise placement of intricate details. This orchestrated composition invites viewers to peel back layers, exploring the depths of each scene.
Her abstracts, on the other hand, capture the emotional undercurrents of her subconscious. The balance between these two styles keeps her creativity alive and evolving, with each informing and enriching the other when viewed side by side.
Above all, her art is an invitation—to connect, explore, and celebrate. It stands as a testament to her journey of embracing the environment, intuition, and diverse expressions, translating dreams into tangible beauty.
