Linda Lindsay is a professional sculptor and empowering instructor in Victoria, BC

Linda is an award-winning artist known for her sensitively sculpted figures, imbued with strength, grace, and beauty. She instills life-like and thought-provoking facial expressions of confidence showing dignity, hope, and love into her pieces. Linda creates bronze and fired terracotta sculptures allowing for more variety, subtlety, and permanence. Her compositions are created to be beautiful and meaningful from every angle.

Her sculpting career spans over 40 years. Her work is in private collections across Canada, the United States, and Taiwan. She has two permanent public sculptures, M’akhotso Mother of Peace, and Winds of Time, both located in Victoria BC.

Born and raised in California, Linda comes from a family of artists. Following her passion, she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1978, then her secondary teaching credentials from California State University, and was later awarded Community College teaching credentials from the State of California. She taught at Lemoore High School and West Hills College.

In 1993, Linda married the love of her life and immigrated to Canada, where they raised a family while she continued to develop her sculpting skills. Thousands of hours of sculpting from life-models, and intense individualized studies of anatomy, honed her skills in figurative art. Notable anatomy studies include artistic anatomy with Scott Eaton (England) and gross anatomy (Island Medical Program, UVic). This deep knowledge of anatomy underlies her ability to create believable form and expressive feeling in her sculptures.

Linda is a dedicated and experienced instructor who empowers her students with in-depth knowledge and skill so that they can bring their own creative visions to life. She has offered sculpture and anatomy courses through her atelier in Victoria since 1993, and has instructed at the Victoria College of Art, the Sculpture Studio, and in Pietrasanta Italy, where she taught artistic anatomy and facial sculpture from 2016-2018 in the Sculpt Italy workshops.

Linda has recently exhibited with the National Sculpture Society in New York City and South Carolina, winning the prestigious Ortmayer/Corcoran ward. She has also exhibited and competed at the Federation of Canadian Artists in Vancouver BC, American Women Artists online exhibit (US), the Vancouver Island Sculptors Guild Victoria BC, Arts Alive Oak Bay Victoria BC, and the Sidney Museum BC. She has previously exhibited at Winchester Galleries Victoria BC, Gallery De Felice Spokane Wa, The Bronze Works Gallery Tacoma Wa, Bronze Editions Gallery Seattle Wa, and Bronze Coast Gallery Cannon Beach Oregon.

She is a member of the National Sculpture Society (USA), the Federation of Canadian Artists, and is a board member and past president of the Vancouver Island Sculptors Guild.
