artist Linny D. Vine

Canadian West Coast artist Linny D. Vine finds inspiration
for her vibrant acrylic and oil paintings in the natural beauty of Southern Vancouver Island as well as Victoria's gardens and urban scenes.
Although Linny is mostly self taught, her careers in goldsmithing and garden design plus her experience in commercial photography contribute to the unique perspective that she brings to her bold and colourful paintings.  Linny's paintings have been described as "like looking at a dream" and referred to as "dreamscapes".
"To me, the visual world is full of beautiful combinations of colour and light. When I paint I bring my interpretation of this beauty to the canvas."
Linny was born in Saskatchewan, grew up in and around Vancouver and has lived in Victoria since 1992 where she shares her love of painting with her life partner, Jeffrey. Her paintings can be found in private collections across North America and abroad.
