A World of Colour'
An Duo exhibit by
LINDA MORRIS
EXHIBITION | April 2-29, 2026
RECEPTION | Saturday, April 11th | 1-3pm
ARTIST STATEMENT | Linda Morris is a local artist who has been painting for many years. She specializes in oil paintings, oil pastels, and acrylic painting. She loves all the bright colours of nature, and the almost spiritual nature of the painting itself. She became inspired by all forms of painting when her father passed on, and continues this wonderful form of therapy. She has continued to expand her painting skills with various classes, and also teaches the students at Cloverdale Recreation Centre. Linda's art has evolved over the years, as she is becoming more abstract in her approach to the painting, "seeing it as an extension of herself, showing her love of animals and the beautiful province that we live in.” She belongs to the Arts Council of Surrey, Langley Arts Council, Semiahmoo Arts, and the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society. She has won several awards, including Third Place in the ArtsPacific juried show for her painting “Majestic Mountain”, Third Place for her “Bearly There” animal painting for the juried Just Pets exhibition through the Arts Council of Surrey, and Honourable Mention in the Teravarna juried International 13th Abstract Online Exhibition.
