Biography
Who Is Linda Toews?
I was born in Niagra Falls, Ontario(Wine Country) and have the pleasure of living in the wine country of British Columbia,
West Kelowna. I am eternally grateful to a wonderful teacher, Suava Caetani, a well known icon of the Okanagan Valley whom
I adore and without whom I may never have pursued my love of art. Suava, a towering, gentle woman, nurtured any talents her students had and will be fondly remembered for helping us to become who we are today...In addition to painting wall murals,
I have enjoyed illustrating children's books, but my primary focus and love is canvas. Because I am curious about people
and enjoy the diversity intrinsic to each human being, I most enjoy drawing people, especially children because of their untouched innocence. My preferred mediums are water-based oils and acrylics as these are people friendly, and bold, jewel colors are my favorite. Without art, music and good food, life would continue, but in black and white. These gifts are what put color in our lives. I hope that my paintings will bring pleasure, inspiration and color to those who see them. Thank you and welcome to my website, Looking Through Linda, where you see the world through my eyes!
