About The Artist
Linda Wegmann is a contemporary abstract painter based in Sausalito CA. My work has evolved over 5 years painting, exploring color, properties of form and shape, lines, materiality, and spatial relationships and the interaction of all. The concept of ‘place’ and ‘being’ is a persistent theme in my work.
I study the use of form to abstract and develop imaginary landscapes of where I live and where I’ve traveled. Fascinated by finding my way into these painting by the sense of being seen, not seen, memories of places I have been or have been in my mind. There is something about the ‘finding’ in the work, that I will continue to explore depicting environments that are whimsical in their re-imagining. Influenced by my deep attachment to northern California, my paintings communicate composition and structure while embodying its very dissolution.
After a full career in graphic design and taking a workshop in oil and cold wax medium, I started painting. I fell in love with the medium and knew I wanted to paint in that way. My paintings took on many shapes, including figurative work and imaginary landscapes. Ultimately my goal was to find a way to continue to abstract further. Discovering my love of the properties of shapes, lines, surfaces, spatial relationships and interactions is what drives me. I’m excited about finding my way into the paintings by the sense of being seen, and not seen, memories of places I have been or have been in my mind. There is something about ‘finding’ in the work I explore. Living here in the Bay area is my constant visual inspiration. Weaving it all together through my painting practice is my greatest challenge and dance.
