2025 Exhibitions

Linda Toomey: “For me the landscape is about tranquility and peacefulness.  There is poetry in texture, color and space- in earth, flora, water and sky.  We may all find common bonds in the appreciation of nature and a spiritual nurturing less evident in a world dominated by politics, consumption, crass communication and right now a pandemic.  As an artist I would like to take the viewer into a quiet world of solitude, reverence and contemplation.

Water, its reflections and movement are an integral part of my paintings as well as the textures and colors found in surrounding areas, especially marshes.

I paint with gouache (opaque watercolor) on black archival board.  I also do mixed media pieces using paintings, pieces of my paintings, handmade papers, photos of the areas which have inspired paintings and color copies of my paintings. Our summer home is located in the 1000 Islands.  The local landscape and landmarks have inspired many paintings.”
