“To catch one of her paintings within one`s field of vision is to taste the salt, feel the wind and loose one`s soul in the breathtaking outdoors that is the coast of Pembrokeshire.”

Mererid Hopwood

 

 

“Linda's work is a mess, but in the end you can see something!”

Darren, aged 8

 

 

“...there are few artists who can rival Linda Norris in her ability to capture the essence and beauty of a landscape in such an economy of brush strokes. ”

Jill Hutchins, Director, The New Academy Gallery

 

 

“I've lived in Pembrokeshire all my life and Linda's work really reflects the wildness of the place, what Pembrokeshire is all about - craggy rocks, the sharpness, the wind. You feel you can see these views from anywhere, they are real to me.”

Neale Lewis, Business Banking Manager
