Linda Lucy Lunde
watercolor, etching, pen and ink
Born in Austin, Minnesota, Linda Lucy Lunde spent most of her childhood with her Norwegian grandparents on their small dairy farm. Her early exposure to Sioux and Chippewa Powwows had a significant influence on her. It is this atmosphere that generated her interest in both nature and Native American history, and which greatly influences her art.
Linda’s art education has been a journey initiated by both her passion for the world around her and her desire to paint that world. She is most grateful for the guidance she received from western artist, William Herring, under whom she is proud to have apprenticed. Her formal training is the culmination of influences of many fine teachers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming.
“I love painting portraits. The portraying of characters and life stories. We all have times in our lives when great strength is required of us. The Native American is a symbol of courage to me, fighting hard against a strong majority to maintain their beliefs and way of life. I find that spirit inspiring to paint. Their regalia, bead work, feathers and jewelry are wonderful to play with; the patterns of light and shapes and color.”
