Linda Irwin is a Photorealist painter, and works with Acrylics and Mixed Media. Linda started painting in 2016. Initially self-taught, she has taken classes and numerous workshops, most recently with Wildlife Painter David N. Kitler.

Linda works from photographs that inspire her — some she takes herself and some are references from other photographers.

Linda’s subject matter includes wildlife, flora, human and pet portraiture, and now apparently something new — landscapes! www.lindairwinartist.com
