My original art is sparked in the heart by a piece of music, a writing, a photo or a personal experience or concept I am working through.I love the animals and painting them is pure joy!!
Internationally recognized Canadian Artist, Linda Diane Taylor describes her art as taking an idea or a vision to the canvas and molding colour and dimension to create a message, a question or an emotion.Her influences come from the old master oil painters, tribal designs and visions. Her style is eclectic, ever changing and developing.
In her portfolio you will find amazing pet portraits, personal portraits, ideas from visions, tribal designs and copies of old masters.
She makes drums for other artists to paint and develops her own designs and personal designs for others.

"Much of my original art starts with a vision while meditating, standing in the shower, sitting in nature or dropping off to sleep. I consider it all a divine gift and record it in my note book with a quick sketch to be developed and nurtured until the time is right to share with the world."

I am delighted with my personal portrait. Linda Captured exactly what I asked and was warm and considerate even though I had many demands. Dr. Aly Kahn.. New Jersey
I met Linda early in my move to Santa Cruz, in fact, during the actual moving time. I saw some of her art the day we met (she was painting on the porch) and was very impressed. She is immensely talented and has continued to develop at an incredible rate. Her sweet and generous personality coupled with a loving heart has inspired me to remain in contact now that she has relocated back to Canada.
