LINDA M. WILSON
Meet The Artist
Realism has been my passion for as long as I can remember. It started with childhood doodles and has evolved into elite level portraiture and landscape realism. Each piece I paint carries a piece of my story that becomes a piece of yours. Bringing my work into your house and spreading the inspiration that lead to each creation is very gratifying.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and was trained by renowned artist Bill Kufahl. Over the years, oil on canvas became my way of preserving the people, places, and moments that have shaped my life. Every painting begins with a story, and every story is rooted in love, family, memory, and renewal.
