Linda Shantz
Primarily self-taught, Linda’s artistic education has come
from hours of drawing time and direct involvement with the animals she so
admires. She works in oil,
oil pastel and pencil, and focuses on a variety of equine subject matter, as
well as commissioned portraits of all animals. In her paintings she strives not
only to capture accurate anatomy, but the spirit of the animal as well. She is a
member of the Equine Art Guild and Oil Pastel Association International, winning
awards at both open and equine art shows. Linda currently lives in Campbellville,
Ontario, and divides her time between painting and working with
her horses and dogs.
Recent accomplishments:
-- 2004 Art at the Classic, Draft Horse Classic, Nevada (juried)
Second Place Pastel for “Subtle Majesty,” oil pastel.
-- 2004 Harness Tracks of America Scholarship Art Auction, Lexington, KY
