artist's statement
Linda Page Hudgins
I experience and paint the invisible.
Believing the possibilities of purely visual communication enables me to express freedom,
complexity, and harmony in long paintings completed without seeing the whole. Vivid colors
clash, stand against each other as hard edges, dark against light, hot against cold, vibrant against
grey and then blend into each other—one becoming the other. An inner voice that encourages
and comforts and delights is always available, clearing my mind to interpret the world without
words or predictions or consequences. Acceptance of chaos and random evolution of life
conveys as joy when I paint.
