A Walk in the Woods

Linda Larson draws inspiration from the silent, transformative world beneath the ocean’s surface, where weightlessness, shifting light, and drifting forms shape her artistic vision. Her oil and wax paintings explore this sense of immersion through layered colors that move from dark to light and organic shapes that surface, fade, and reemerge like mysterious underwater creatures. Working in multiple layers, she often disrupts the paint to reveal earlier ideas, creating compositions that evoke depth, translucency, and the hidden life beneath the “skin” of water. Through these fleeting, allegorical moments, Larson seeks to reveal hope and beauty in even the quietest or bleakest spaces.
