" When you glimpse my paintings, you are catching a glimpse of my soul - a part of me lives within every piece I create."
Originally from a quiet town in Alberta, Linda Giles now creates in Victoria, BC, as a Canadian artist and author of Life, Faith, and Hope. After nearly ten years serving in the medical field across North America, Linda transitioned toward holistic medicine in 1999, earning a practitioner’s degree that significantly enriched her creative perspective. For over three decades, she has dedicated herself to refining her craft as a self-taught acrylic artist. Her work is a visual synthesis of her life’s journeys, influenced by the scorched beauty of the Arizona deserts and the vibrant, rhythmic sea life of the Pacific Northwest. Today, Linda translates these profound desert-to-ocean transitions into unique, whimsical paintings that capture the essence of her surroundings. Each brushstroke is a celebration of over three decades of evolution, merging her deep background in healing with a passion for soulful, evocative art that invites viewers into a world of imagination and wonder.
