Artist Statement -
"My goal as an artist is to communicate the uncommon beauty found in nature. I believe the best way to convey the authentic environment and the atmosphere of a moment in a painting is to paint it from life. I work primarily in oils. I prefer to paint plein air when possible but also work in the studio from plein air studies and sketches and photograph references. Though challenged and inspired by any environment, my focus has been the Florida environment that I grew up with and which continues to be my primary source of material and inspiration."
Linda Apriletti is a native of Miami, currently living in Miami Springs, Florida. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, Plein Air Florida and Landscape Artists International. She exhibits regularly and her paintings hang in numerous private collections in the US and abroad.
Primarily self-trained, Linda has studied with a number of prominent plein air artists including Jay Moore, Larry Moore and William Scott Jennings. Although the majority of Linda's painting is done on location en plein air, she also works in her studio creating larger paintings from her outdoor field studies. Painting throughout the country and especially the south Florida area, she gets her inspiration from her surroundings. Her love of nature and the outdoors comes through in the subject matter of her paintings, which show the tranquility and beauty that she finds in pristine places and everyday scenes.
