About The Artist

"I have always been mesmerized with flowers and how they look in different settings. Sometimes I see them in dazzling sunlight dancing in the wind, and sometimes I see them in a misty garden in the early morning or in the evening twilight hours. I like to capture feelings and moods when I paint. My work is somewhere between reality and abstract. I try to create a fantasy or a dream on the canvas. I like for the for the viewer to be able to see beyond photographic reality. I think of my work as a fairy tale." I run my own gallery in Taos, New Mexico. It is called LINDA RAUCH GALLERY. It is located in the historic district next door to the Harwood Art Museum. I am a native of New Mexico and have been greatly influenced by the rich colors that are present in the Indian and Hispanic cultures here. I love to paint the desert landscapes of New Mexico as well as the colorful gardens that are in Taos. lindarauchartist.com PAINTINGS WATERCOLORS MIXED MEDIA DRAWINGS MURALS UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA: B.S.
