Linda Plaisted

Linda Plaisted is a classically-trained painter, photographer and mixed media artist who has exhibited her work in galleries and museums throughout North America. Her work is held in private collections worldwide.

Each piece of artwork she creates is layered by hand with images she has captured in photographs, drawings, paintings and collected ephemera. She has been creating since she was old enough to hold a crayon and has never lost the ability that all children possess- to imagine more than what meets the eye. She received her first camera from her grandfather when she was eight years old and went on to study fine art and photography in art school, grad school and beyond.


Her delight in nature and the unique ability to conjure mood from the simplest of compositions is evident in her work.



She invites you to dream the same dreams.

Artist's Statement

As a painter, photographer, illustrator and mixed media artist, my artwork is inspired by the heritage of my artistic ancestors, but also animated by current technology, giving traditional media a modern twist. To continue to grow as an artist I experiment constantly with new media, new tools, new ideas.

While my work continues to evolve with the state-of-the-art, I am also greatly influenced by timeless themes in history, science, literature, mythology, and popular culture particularly in reference to women and children; a segment of society who have historically had limited access to the acquisition and application of knowledge.


Through my work I attempt to interpret how past and future converge in the present with an often bittersweet view of classic themes and iconic imagery.
