Linda McFetridge
Linda was born in New Plymouth and raised in Taranaki , a place she regularly returns to for inspiration. A self taught Artist, she currently resides in Auckland.
Linda has contributed to a number of collaborative exhibitions over the past couple of years, including an innovative show in November 2006, with fellow artist
Kate Millington, hosted by fashion design house World at their deluxe store in Auckland.
From January 2008 Linda has begun to produce a short film documentary to accompany each of her works, giving audience into the painting process and her interpretation into
that particular piece. She has also begun a series of abstract works exploring similar elements that inspire her previous works but but deconstructing them into a more
abstract form and representation.
“As an Artist I am fascinated by space, contrast and texture, and I find painting land, sea and skyscapes a fabulous mechanism to explore this. Growing up surrounded by black sand beaches and the
native bush in Taranaki has left a strong imprint on my creativity. I'm inspired by the moodiness and drama of the west coast of the North Island, its ability to create a sense of stillness, and
evoke within a peacefulness, which is reflected in my work.”

The quick time on my website is a much better viewing quality than the you tube post. I now have 6 Art clips that can be seen on my website or you tube that give audience a glimpse into the painting
process of the works I have completed so far this year.
