Dive into the fantasy world of Linda R. Herzog. Linda sees
detail visions of her creations in color, movement, and
sound in her dreams as she sleeps. With excitement of her
visions she often wakes in the middle of the night to do
thumbnail sketches of what she believes will be a great
painting. She often returns in a half-sleep state and to
finish out the details. Linda’s childhood is her muse along
with the simple things in life. You can see hints of
inspiration from several artists that have moved her.Linda
grew up in Utah and always felt an ardent closeness to
nature and animals. She was drawing animals in detail at an
early age and has never stopped. Her first oil painting was
at the age of 9 and knew that was what she always wanted to
be doing. Encouraged by her parents in middle school she
took adult night oil painting classes with her mother and
grandmother. Linda took many art classes in high school.
After that Linda is self-taught. Moving to Southern
California in 1986, Linda received inspiration from the
ocean and started painting marine life. Then in 1998 found
total joy in painting wildlife in a realm of unique unreal
settings. Linda calls her paintings “Wildlife Fantasy”.
Linda’s paintings have been displayed throughout Southern
California, New York City, Tokyo Japan, and Maui Hawaii. Her
paintings were in the Universal feature film “Dragonfly”
staring Kevin Costner, and are in the collection of Toyota
Corporation. Art Business News showed Linda’s work in their
“Trendsetters” section of the magazine.
