"Beauty is truth and truth is beauty" - Ruskin.
Olivia Long expresses both, through the art she has created. From the meticulous detail in her botanical renderings, to the lush density displayed in texture and abstracted forms, Olivia has suffused all with rarely matched skill. Sensitivity to colour and the ever changing character of light, displays an awareness acquired while residing in Asia and Europe. An intimacy of time and place is evident within the grandeur of Olivia's landscapes. Her floral interpretation of still life is juxtaposed with the richness of materials and thought.
A graphic designer for 25 years, Linda has always been a keen photographer and artist. Photographing local landmarks and nature, and combining these with images of textured surfaces, she creates images that are a hybrid of digital art and fine art photography. Linda also explores abstract art through a mixed media combination of digital media and acrylics—she feels this innovative mix of image layering and digital manipulation to be extremely inspiring and offers new scope for her creativity.
