Linda VanWyk is a contemporary, intuitive abstract painter. Her work largely focuses on the study of shapes and color and how they interact to reveal an array of vessels and containers on table tops, shelves and other surfaces. The idea of inclusion and exclusion and what fits where, when and how is also an important element in each of her paintings. Linda creates her work with oil paint mixed with cold wax medium and primarily paints on wood panels.

Each painting tells an interesting story about the collection of objects, bowls, cups and other containers. That story might be evident immediately or at times it takes a longer view to see what this collection of vessels is revealing.

Linda paints everyday in her home studio in Burlington, ON. Her work can be found in private collections in Canada, England, and Europe. Her work is also included in the book Cold Wax Medium Techniques, Concepts & Conversations by Rebecca Crowell & Jerry McLaughlin.
