The act of painting is a continuous journey of joy and discovery for me.

Linda Kirvan, a native of Washington, DC, has been active in the painting communities of the Mid-Atlantic for many years.  From the mountains of Western Maryland to the sandy shores of the Atlantic coast, there is unlimited subject matter to pursue in the studio and painting outside. The Chesapeake Bay is especially inspirational because of the intertwining of land and water where unlimited compositions and spectacular light can be found.  A lifelong learner, her affinity for art was sparked at an early age and nature, from the magnificent to the mundane, has been a tremendous influence on her work. Over the years her exploration of watercolor, gouache, oil and printmaking has led to new ideas and challenges. Art is truly a journey and continues to inspire, create and learn.
