| Linda Sorensen |
| The realism paintings of Linda Sorensen reflects a passionate
connection and respect for the earth which is portrayed in images of life
, nostalgia, vintage automobiles, rich botanicals, and Canadian wilderness.
The artist offers her own unique insight and interpertation of life and
the natural world through the mediums of acrylic, watercolor, mixed media
and photography... 'Linda Sorensen was one of the most talented and dedicated students I had the pleasure to teach and know in my 20 years of teaching. Her work was and is strong and bold, starting with nature and her own experiences and putting her distinctive creative stamp on it. Art begins where nature ends. Linda's art was always very clearly "Sorensen". The clear stamp of original character is always the sign of a true artist and Linda Sorensen has it.'
