Linda Lillegraven – 2020 Brinton 101

Linda Lillegraven received her BA in art from San Diego State University in 1970, and a BS in zoology in 1972.  She earned a master’s degree in biology from the University of Utah in 1975.  A summer doing research in an isolated corner of Utah convinced her that she wanted more than anything to paint the great open landscapes of the West.  Living in Laramie, Wyoming provides infinite opportunities to see and paint the high, open country she loves.

Her work is in numerous public and private collections around the West and beyond. She is represented by Ann Korologos Gallery in Basalt, Colorado; Big Horn Galleries, Cody Wyoming, and Tubac, Arizona; and Deselms Fine Art in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

“All three of these small paintings represent scenes within 20 miles of my home in Laramie. When I venture out I might find clear skies and open grassland, or rows of trees along a creek, or a dirt road disappearing over a bluff. The same spot in the road may inspire very different paintings at different times of day and year. And to think I call this work!” Linda Lillegraven
