Linda TilleyPainter, Port Townsend
website: artbytilley.com "While it is exciting to be immersed in the callings of the natural world, it is also exhilarating to investigate an abstract world, blurred from reality, which allows the viewer to form a personal interpretation. I continue to be amazed by how much there is to learn as I travel on my art journey."

Artist Statement
It is amazing the beauty that surrounds us, sometimes going unnoticed. I am inspired by what I see and feel and endeavor to create a frozen moment, a feeling, that allows the viewer to take as long as needed to absorb. Plein air painting has drawn me back to the basics and re-opened the door to involving all my senses. Color, atmosphere, design and movement call to me from all angles and awaken that ever present “artistic spirit” that is part of my soul.
Biography
I am native to the Northwest having grown up and lived in Oregon. We relocated to Port Townsend 20 years ago. While pursuing a graphic arts degree, I had the opportunity for instruction and study with Art Director Norm Bursheim, a master of Basic Design and Northwest Artist Leland John who introduced me to the world of oils and plein air painting. Other instruction includes old master artist Charles Blasklee, who had me falling in love with light and shadows. Various other studies over the years have included, pen and ink, watercolor and recently pastel. I love sharing my art with others and find it especially rewarding when someone wants to take one home to enjoy.
