Linda Wallis is a Nottingham, UK-based artist working primarily in coloured pencils. With a love of nature and a sense of the bizarre, her drawings teeter between the plausible and the ridiculous; a strange array of objects and shapes that appear to depict a tangible world.
In 2017 Linda made a dramatic break from painting city and townscapes to focus on what she believes are manifestations of her unconscious. By reappropriating pattern, form, shape and texture from every-day and ordinary things, she fabricates an eccentric array of playful worlds on paper. Linda’s work is held in private collections in the United States, China, Ireland, Tasmania, the Netherlands and United Kingdom.
