Linda Hendrickson

b-colorful. b-whimsical. b-artsy.

Known for her colorful, whimsical, interpretations of pets, places and more, Linda’s work draws connoisseurs and collectors of all ages in both the public and private arena. Acrylic and mixed media pieces grace homes and businesses internationally. Her proudest achievement is three larger than life pet portraits (5’ x 5’) installed at DuPont/Nemours Children’s’ Hospital in Delaware.

Linda Hendrickson was offspring to a mother who encouraged creativity from an early age. Fearless of messes, Harriett inspired her children to delve right into finger paints, paper-mâché, and mud pies. Nurtured with such joyous enthusiasm, Linda’s curiosity and creative bent only heightened with each passing year. Upon earning a Bachelors of Fine Art and a Masters in Education Linda is committed to lifelong learning and exploration of her media. She shares her exuberant passion for art and beauty in classes and workshops. She delights in a graceful exchange of experiences and expertise with her enthusiastic students.

Part of what gives Linda’s paintings life, color and vibrancy is the inspiration for her work. Both winter and summer she is in the mountains soaking up the fresh air and taking a childlike delight in every animal she meets along the way. Like the trails in Glacier National Park or the ski runs on Whitefish Resort at Big Mountain, each painting is a trail from blank canvas to a riot of color! Some paths are smooth and full of wonders along the way with time to stop and sketch. Other routes are frightening and difficult maybe with only seconds to get a quick photo. Each experience widens the visual vocabulary. Whether representing a beloved family pet, a roadrunner, a mountain goat, a moose, hairy marmots or a grizzly bear from along the trail, she seeks to represent their magnificent beauty.
