 "I'm
thrilled that my inspiration, the joy that I feel for our world's beauty, is felt through my paintings."
Linny D. Vine's distinctive contemporary paintings are known for their joyful energy. Cherry blossoms in full bloom, warm curving
paths that invite exploration, each building, tree, flower and being alive with it's own special personality. The hour
of day and the time of season both captured at their fullest and most colorful.
Linny's
inspiration is the visual world, it's beautiful rhythmic patterns of color and light, as well as her intrigue in the discovery
of the unusual within the usual. She combines these inspirations with her richly imaginative narration to create
paintings that dance with life and joy.
Linny's past career as goldsmith plus her experience in commercial
photography contribute to the original perspective and strong design of her work. Whether Linny
is painting en plein air or in studio, with oil or with acrylic, her expressive brushwork and unique vision
of the world combine to create paintings that celebrate the wonderful character and joyous imperfectness
of life.
Over the years Linny has been represented in galleries across Canada and the USA.
She has enjoyed numerous successful solo and group exhibitions, her paintings are treasured in
private and corporate collections
throughout the USA, Canada and Europe. As well, the list of happy collectors who
have commissioned their own special "Linnyland painting" continues to grow.
Linny was born in Saskatchewan,
grew up in and around Vancouver, and has lived in Victoria BC since 1992 where she shares her love of painting with
her life partner, Jeffrey.
