About Linda Wadley
Artist Linda Wadley from Jasper East, Alberta, lived at the base of Folding Mountain in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. She and her new husband have moved to Vernon, British Columbia to be closer to her family and grandsons.
The past five years in Vernon have been busy ones with the renovations of an older home and its garden - this is where her creative energies have been focused. The home and art studio are now finished. Once again it is time for her to be painting the landscape, this time it will be to capture the beautiful Okanagan Valley lakes, forests and mountains in her expressive and colourful alla prima style.
