Linda Lillegraven lives in Laramie, Wyoming, and earned a BA in Art and BS in Zoology from San Diego State University. The great open landscapes of the West, with their changing light and seasons, offer the artist a lifetime of inspiration. Her oil paintings depict the transitions of color and tone of the plains, so subtle as to be “almost invisible,” yet perfectly conveyed by the hands of Lillegraven. Her landscape paintings include a minimal amount of detail while giving the viewer a sense of big skies, open fields, space and scale.
A summer spent doing research in an isolated corner of Utah convinced her that she wanted more than anything to paint the great open landscapes of the West, despite her extensive experience with wildlife. Living in Laramie, Wyoming provides infinite opportunities to see and paint the high, open country she loves. The harsh climate and expansive wilderness of Wyoming provides stunning variety for the artist, with the light changing from one minute to the next, and from one season to another.
