“Art is a way of life and I create 24 hours a day…maybe not always holding a brush, but by seeing, thinking, and feeling. All my paintings are inspired in some way or another by the environment surrounding me whether it be a specific mountain, waterfall, or an abstract shape. If my heart skips a beat, I take a second look to absorb and analyze. The simplest things capture my attention; the way light bounces off the water and rocks in a stream, the contrast of snow against the warm under brush, creating abstracted forms....it all sparks an emotional cord.” – Linda Wilder
