Lynda Bruce completed her DEC in Fine Arts at John Abbott College Cegep in 1979, then obtained a BFA (with distinction) from Concordia University in 1984. In the summer following her graduation she attended the Banff Center as part of the Young Resident Artist Program on scholarship. In 1985 she was the recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant. Lynda paints mainly large scale oils and mixed media on canvass.  The eastern townships of Quebec where she has lived and painted for the past 20 years provides the inspiration for her work. Light and colour form the essence of her canvasses which celebrate the peace, joy and sustaining quality that the beauty of the landscape provides. Her work has been exhibited widely in and around Montreal and Quebec City as well as Toronto, Ottawa and Newfoundland in solo and group exhibtions. Her work can be found in many private and corporate collections.  You can view more of her work here: Lynda Bruce
