On the wall, Fine Art and Photography, Linda Clary

Linda Clary on the wall

My passion for the natural world is reflected in most of my paintings and photographs. I often look for the tranquil stillness and the spiritual serenity in a landscape. I recognize that the beauty of God’s natural creation has a healing power. Most of my inspiration comes from magnificent New England landscapes. Also, my lifelong love of gardening gives me a fascination for the shapes, colors and textures found in plants.

Besides painting in watercolor, acrylic and pastel, I have developed an interest in photography. I find the immediacy of the captured image very exciting. Many of my photographs are inspirations for my paintings and I have been told that some of my photographs look like paintings!

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. I am a graduate of Syracuse University and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts. After college I studied under Beverly Edwards and Anne Haywood at the former Fuller Art Museum in Brockton and under Beverly Rippel at the former Felos Memorial Art Center in Stoughton. 

I currently show my work at the Easton Shovel Town Cultural District Co-op Gallery located at 50 Main Street, Building 9, North Easton, MA. I also have my s studio in the same building.
