In this landscape, I draw parallels between the steadfastness of the landforms forms and my own strength and resilience.
And yet sometimes it just rains - overflowing, breaching boundaries, carving new routes through the familiar. Like the rivers born of rain, shifts the very pathways of existence, fostering unexpected growth and complexity, revealing the environment in a fresh light.
Mountains, majestic and resolute, are not exempt from overflow. From the loftiest peaks, rain it descends freely, etching new paths and marking the surface. Yet, from this deluge emerges growth—a testament to the resilience and transformative power inherent in both nature and the human spirit.
My artistic expressions manifest the deep connections I find between the natural world enveloping me and the complexities of my psyche.
My art serves as an unadorned portrayal of my personal journey intricately linked to the inspiring surroundings. It is a story laid bare—a narrative for me to comprehend and share, yet open for others to connect with through their own tales and experiences.
Linda McFetridge, a contemporary artist from New Zealand, weaves a vibrant tapestry of creativity enriched by diverse influences and life experiences. Her artistic journey finds its roots in the coastal embrace of a dairy farm near Mt Taranaki, where Linda cultivated a profound connection with nature and the scenic beauty that surrounded her.
Despite earning a psychology degree, Linda's journey took an unexpected turn as she delved into the performing arts industry. Here, she not only honed her skills as a performer but also emerged as a choreographer, adding rhythmic dimensions to her artistic repertoire. The stage became her canvas, and movement became her expressive language.
Transitioning into the film and screen industry, Linda's interaction with visual imagery through the camera lens ignited a latent passion for painting. The exploration of narratives through the lens seamlessly translated into the strokes of her brush on canvas. In the world of visual storytelling, Linda discovered a new means of expression that resonated with the essence of her artistic soul.
Her paintings, reflective of her deep-rooted connection to nature, draw inspiration from the landscapes of her upbringing. The coastal farm near Mt Taranaki, with its ever-changing hues and textures, serves as a wellspring of inspiration for Linda's artistic endeavors.
Linda McFetridge's artistic odyssey is a testament to the fluidity of creative expression, where each chapter builds upon the last. From the serene landscapes of her childhood to the kinetic energy of the performing arts, Linda's journey unfolds as a visual symphony, harmonizing diverse influences into a singular, expressive narrative.
