Linda Budge ~ Southwest Wildlife Artist
Linda Budge, award winning artist and acclaimed author, has been a creative force in wildlife art, dog portraitures, still life, and children’s books. She has combined her passions for art and living creatures to produce works that radiate empathy and painterly grace. Her extensive knowledge of animals and deep experience interacting with them explains her uncanny ability to capture her subjects accurately; and also helps to explain why her work carries such emotional power.
I like to capture a gesture, an attitude, or an expression; taking the viewer’s imagination into a world that I have created.
