The evocative and inspirational works of award-winning Canadian painter Lynda Pogue lend themselves well to an air of personal meditation. These mixed media paintings are wonderful to behold, the variety of textures and strokes vacillate between substantial forms and airy, loose brushwork. Working in encaustics and water-based media with stylistic components that hearken back to traditional landscape painters, indigenous artists, and the Minimalists, Pogue uses her formidable artistic repertoire to create a soothing arena for her audience. The paintings act as a doorway between two individuals, “When showing another person one of my paintings, I stand exposed and vulnerable," she explains. “It’s now between the artist and the viewer. This is a powerful moment for me.” She has a long and diverse history in the arts as a student, consultant, teacher, and author.

Widely sought after, her work is in collections around the globe from South Africa to Spain. Pogue lives and works outside of Toronto, Ontario.
