Linda Gregor is an accomplished artist whose passion for capturing the beauty of the great outdoors, particularly the mesmerising coastline, is evident in the vibrant and exhilarating artworks she creates. Born into an "arty" family, Linda was fortunate to grow up under the influence of her father, Kevin Best, a professional artist whose enthusiasm and ability to bring scenes to life on canvas became a significant source of inspiration for her. Organising exhibitions and running an art gallery provided her with valuable insights into the business side of art, enriching her understanding of the art world. Linda pursued formal training in Illustration and Graphic Design during a time when hands-on techniques with pencils and brushes were the norm. This traditional foundation, coupled with her inherent passion for painting, contributes to the quality of her art.
While Linda has a special affinity for oils and acrylics, appreciating their smooth blends and rich colours beneath the varnish, she is also known for experimenting with various mediums, including watercolours, gouache and pastels. Her versatility allows her to explore different techniques and effects, constantly evolving her artistic expression. Her travels in country and coastal areas of Australia, particularly New South Wales and Victoria have given her significant inspiration to create special stories in her canvases.
Linda Gregor's art is not just a personal pursuit—it's a way of sharing the beauty she finds in the world. Through her paintings, she hopes to evoke joy, appreciation, and a connection to the natural wonders that surround us.
