A word about the paintings,

Native to Montreal, Lynda Bruce received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University in 1983, followed by a session at the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts in the "Young Resident Artists" program . Her recent paintings reflect a continuing interest in nature and the landscape: "I find my inspiration in the environment that surrounds me - a living prescence in perpetual transformation, which inhabits and nourishes my imagination".

Long walks through fields and forest, along the river or in the apple orchard where her house is situated, find fruition later in the artist's studio. The paintings bear witness to the fluidity of time, the passing of the seasons, and the elusive, ephemeral light which illuminates everything.

The recent paintings of Lynda Bruce are rich and passionate, loose energetic brushwork proffering a non-traditional vision of the landscape. "If I have a single artistic intent with respect to the viewer, it would be to offer a break from the turmoil of the outside world through the exploration of another world - a peaceful one, filled with light and colour".
