Linda Hanks :: Artist Biography

In my Georgia Peach Orchard Series, I started each painting with a geometric design. I also painted in the perspective lines since the placement of the trees was so important. Each series is different with its own challenges and stimuli.

Winning awards locally, regionally and nationally has been very validating along with exhibiting with “The Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club” and “The American Artists Professional League” in New York City. I have been invited to participate in activities with Atlanta’s High Museum of Art and the Columbus Museum in Columbus, GA. Also, I am showing in Atlanta and Nashville, TN.

I love what I do and I hope to evoke a mood or a feeling from the viewer, even though it might be different from mine. Painting, for me, is like talking on canvas because it’s a non verbal communication. I have always, always, always loved the color red. In high school, everything I had was the color red…even my 1949 Dodge coup. I now use the color red to sign my paintings whether it is burgundy, wine, or fire engine red. I find it adds an element of design and above all, it suits me.
