Artist Statement -
"My goal as an artist is to communicate the uncommon beauty found in nature. I believe the best way to convey the authentic environment and the atmosphere of a moment in a painting is to paint it from life." 


Linda Apriletti is a native of Miami, currently living in Miami Springs, Florida.  She is a member of Oil Painters of America, Plein Air Florida and Landscape Artists International.  She exhibits regularly and her paintings hang in numerous private collections in the US and abroad.  Her work can be viewed at Windisch-Hunt Fine Art gallery in Coconut Grove, Florida.  

Primarily self-taught, Linda has studied with a number of prominent plein air artists including Jay Moore, Larry Moore and William Scott Jennings.   Although the majority of Linda's painting is done on location en plein air, she also works in her studio creating larger paintings from her outdoor field studies.  Painting throughout the country and especially the south Florida area, she gets her inspiration from her surroundings.  Her love of nature and the outdoors comes through in the subject matter of her paintings, which show the tranquility and beauty that she finds in pristine places and everyday scenes. 

"Over the years I have found my best painting occurs outside.  Whether it's the richly colored tropical plants in my backyard or the subtle hued vastness of the Everglades or perhaps New Mexico's grand vistas, I am inspired by the world around me.  
I spend considerable time observing the constantly changing dynamics of the sky, water and plants.  I believe that an in-depth knowledge is important and use every means I can to understand and paint my subjects."
