Linda Gotta Pastels

Linda Gotta’s artistic journey has been significantly influenced by her upbringing in a creative family. Her mother was an artist, and her father was a builder. 

For the past two and a half decades, Linda has dedicated her life to the art of pastel painting, although she has also explored working in watercolor and acrylic.

Linda’s artistic endeavors are characterized by her unwavering pursuit of capturing the inherent beauty of the natural world. Her compositions often feature landscapes of farms, beaches, and woodlands, as well as intimate views of flowers, animals, and birds. 

Linda’s mastery of color and light is evident in her use of vibrant hues with soft, impressionistic edges. Light and shadow play a pivotal role in her compositions, adding depth and dimension to her work.

Throughout her artistic career, Linda has actively sought to enhance her skills and knowledge through workshops and classes. Her work has garnered recognition and accolades, including:

“Best in Show” award from the Connecticut Pastel Society for her painting titled “On the Ridge.” 

“Best Floral” award from the SCAA members’ show for her work titled “Meadow"

Linda’s artistic achievements extend beyond individual recognition. She is particularly proud of being selected for the Spring 2020 Pastel Journal magazine’s “Pastel 100” list for her abstract painting titled “Timber.”
