Linda Cannup

About Linda

Linda Drawdy Cannup is a Columbia, SC area native, who specializes in acrylic and watercolor paintings. She is a self-taught Artist who continues to be inspired and influenced through techniques of respected Artists. 

Utilizing a blend of techniques to infuse saturated colors and highlights with vividly bold, spontaneous brushstrokes, Linda's paintings convey dynamic motion while also maintaining the delicate details. The result evokes feelings of both meticulous intention and organic movement - that embodies Linda's deep connection to the natural world.

Linda has spent a great deal of time working on commissioned requests and has completed pieces for clients in regions from south Florida to the state of Oregon. But she now mostly enjoys focusing on speaking her own voice and creating her own vision without a structured agenda.

Many of Linda's works were featured in recent local Art shows, and she participates annually by performing a live paint in the Vista community during the Vista Lights event, as well as during the Artista Vista event.

In her free time, Linda enjoys traveling to coastal areas and lake living - from which she draws inspiration for her paintings.
