Linda Lindsay is in Victoria, BC

Born and raised in California, Linda Lindsay launched into her creative journey with the encouragement of her artistic family. While studying art at university, she began sculpting the human figure and a lifelong passion was born! She taught art at both high school and college levels. In 1993 she moved to Victoria, British Columbia where she and her husband raised a family.

With a focused determination to represent real depth of the human spirit in natural figurative forms, she has sculpted from life-models, studied anatomy and human expression all her adult life.

Living in Canada and the United States, and through her travels and studies in Africa, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, she has developed a deeper understanding of humanity and of what binds us all which has become the focus of her message through her terracotta and bronze sculptures.

Her sculpture classes draw adult students from Canada and the USA and she is well known as an inspirational instructor empowering her students with knowledge and skill.

Linda is an active participant in shows, exhibitions and art associations. Her commissioned and interpretive works can be found in collections across North America.
