Linda Detlor

So much of the creative process takes place in our thoughts before we lift our brush to the canvas. We can spend 10x longer thinking about ideas than actually completing the work. I'm not alone in this approach when creating art but this may be in part my education in graphic design methodology . The execution is critical, of course, but always second to the concept.  If you have a good composition and message ....everything else can fall into place. My goal is to avoid the static material and also focus on the joy of creating; the exciting part of making art.

Linda Detlor completed her B.F.A. at York University in Toronto. Working as a Graphic Designer for many years she updated her fine art courses in painting and drawing at Kwantlen University. She has enjoyed participating in a variety of art shows in the lower mainland and being part of a number of art associations and groups.
