Linda Wallis, born in London, has lived in Surrey since 1967 and has been showing her oil paintings with local Art Societies since the early 1970’s. She did not go to Art School, but has attended courses in this country and in Italy, and has developed her own style, depicting her love of the English countryside.
In particular, her paintings concentrate on landscapes with hedgerows and wild flowers in their natural habitat.
