Linda Opperman has been an artist for as long as she can remember. Even as a child she sought out solitude where she could lose herself in her fantasy world and draw. She is a nature lover, enjoys walks on the beach, and a passionate advocate for animals. She lives in a historical house in the beautiful Karoo, that was built by her grandfather and shares it with her loveable three rescue dogs.

I do art because I cannot NOT do it. I am mainly influenced by the Impressionists – colours, techniques… broad brushstrokes, use of light , subject matter. My favourite quote is by Edgar Degas…’ A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness and fantasy…. when you always make your meaning perfectly plain, you end up boring people. During the 1980/90’s I worked as a graphic designer at the University of Port Elizabeth as well as e-Quip Consultants in Pretoria.

In these paintings I tried to express the sudden intensity of the Karoo bursting into sudden, intense colours a few days after a rainfall. I used spattering on brushwork to achieve this.
