Artist Bio….
Linda Fitzgerald born in the Hudson Valley area
of New York State, has been a Fort Collins, Colorado resident
since 1988. Before settling in Colorado, Linda’s path took her
to the San Francisco Bay area and to Santa Fe, NM where her passion for both Visual Art and the Culinary Arts
began to blossom.
In San Francisco, CA, Linda befriended nationally acclaimed sculptress, Ruth Cravath Wakefield and Fine Art Painter, Charles Farr, both of whom inspired and influenced Linda on her creative journey.
In 1978, Linda moved to New Mexico, where she had the honor of working as a ‘’Companion/Chef” for Georgia O’Keeffe, at Ms. O’Keeffe’s Abiquiu home. There were many conversations on the subject of creativity and Linda took to heart the advise Ms. O’Keeffe gave her…
“Paint the way you paint! Don’t allow others to tell
you how your painting should look. Instructors want you to paint like them, but then it’s not your work….it’s their’s“…

My approach to creating paintings is to first decide what colors I want to paint with. Although, I have a 'subject' matter in mind, I always go with the colors, first. It's how one winds up painting blue horses and golden buffalo !
