"Women
can be so glamorous; so dramatic, poetic and exotic they are so unbelievably
lovely. I paint ladies in relaxed settings, quietly enjoying a cup of coffee or
tea, or a glass of wine and being charming. I try to create a mood on the canvas
- a softness, flirtatiousness and delight. The cast of an eye or expression on a
face communicates an attitude, a moment in time.
I always like to spend time with my portrait subjects -
sketching them, visiting them, getting to know them - so that I can capture them
in poses that convey a sense of their presence."
Linda Kyser-Smith has studied with many of the artists she
most admires - among them four presidential portraitists and Milt Kobayashi, who
taught her many of the color and composition techniques so evident in her style
today. Linda's constant experimentation and exploration of various printing and
painting mediums has added depth to her body of work. Over time these artistic
skills have merged with her own personality, energy, compassion and sense of
fun. Linda has worked and studied her craft in Spain, France, Italy, Japan,
Indonesia and the American Southwest, which she now calls home.
Linda Kyser-Smith is currently exhibited in distinguished
galleries and private collections around the world and is included in the
permanent displays at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art in Alabama and the
National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. Her awards include the Gold
Medal for Oil Painting in the Knickerbocker Artists 45th Grand International
Classic, the prestigious West Coast Award from the American Pastel Society, and
most recently a Special Recognition Award from the Portrait Society of America
in the 2002 International Portrait Competition." Note-biography supplied by
