Linda Sharpe is a self-taught artist with a passion for bold colors and a multi-layered expression of
challenging ideas. Her approach to painting is intuitive, spontaneous and serendipitous. With no plan or
intention, she begins each work by choosing an acrylic color which she paints on either paper or canvas
as an abstract from or gesture. She then selects another color and creates another form. Slowly, as she
paints layer upon layer of color, the intention of the painting presents itself and she makes meaning out
of the randomness. Often brightly colored figures arise, bubbling with fantasy and magic and defying
gravity or proper proportion. These forms appear to be an innocent joyful exploration but are actually
imbued with powerful social or political undercurrents.
Recently, the focus of Linda’s creativity has been a fanciful series of people outside–walking, running,
cycling, rafting and skiing. The style, attitude and personalities of these men and women evolve right on
the canvas until ultimately the lines, shapes and colors meld together as one cohesive expression.
Linda’s background includes designing and manufacturing women’s clothing, directing an export agency
in Hong Kong and operating an Asian antique and accessory store. Her art has been greatly influenced by
her travels through Europe, South America, Asia and India, her politics and family.
