About the Artist:

Linda Reitz

Linda’s art is currently a combination of fine art, abstract, and impressionism. She lives and produces art passionately in a rural area of Ocala. Her art has always been inspired by her love of nature as well as her passion for horses, which her family raised, trained, and showed for many years. Other influences were the wildlife and mountains that she was exposed to growing up. For the last 17 years, she has been influenced by Florida’s ocean, springs, wildlife, and marine life.

Linda’s diverse creative background began by drawing and painting realistically as a child and into her adulthood. Her portrait and pet art experience have emerged into a more fanciful form of art. Linda also was part owner of a wood shop where she designed and helped build wooden toys out of exotic woods. Linda is a self-taught artist who has even designed and helped build a wooden unicorn that was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her art has now evolved from her diverse creative past.

Linda uses a variety of media, such as oils, acrylics, metallic sprays, gold leafing, gems and resin. Sometimes, the paints merge, and other times, they repel each other. Sometimes, the paint is controlled, but other times she lets the painting control her creativity to stand alone or create a backdrop for her realistic twist.

Resin art is currently added to many of her art pieces or the colored resins may stand alone to create an art piece of their own. She currently is a member of several art galleries throughout Florida. She is very much involved in the Rainbow Springs Art Coop in Dunnellon and is working hard to help open at their new location.

Her ultimate mission is to bring you to a place that stimulates your senses and calms your soul.
