VITAE – L. Heath 2008 L. Heath (Linda) painted off and on for 20 years before retiring from a computer management career. Once free to pursue her passion, she immersed herself in a second career in representational oil painting. She’s a member of the Plactias Artists, Rio Grande Art Assoc. (RGAA) and Plein Air Painters of New Mexico (PAPNM). Numerous works have been accepted into both regional and national juried shows. Her collectors live in New Mexico, Texas, California, Florida, Mississippi, Arizona, and Mexico. Linda’s classical art training was obtained at the San Francisco Academy of Art. She continues to refine her skills at a number of workshops with California and New Mexico artists. She recently moved to Placitas, NM from Sausalito, Ca. There she draws inspiration from the Santa Fe/Taos connection as well as from her mountain retreat in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Frequent travels around the world help her maintain a sense of connectedness to all of earth's creatures. Extensive travels in her youth as an Air Force brat in Morocco and later with her husband, while on a 7-year sojourn in Saudi Arabia, introduced her to some of the great art and archaeology museums of the world. Ancient and Renaissance art in the Middle Eastern and European capitals touched her deeply. These great realistic artists in stone and in paint spoke to her as prophets reaching across time, to help the world remember to appreciate beauty in all its myriad forms. Her work reflects a desire to communicate with the ancients through classical still life painting and a desire to share the beauty of the present through impressionistic landscapes. Associations:
