Biography
Linda Infante Lyons was raised in Anchorage, Alaska. She was first exposed to art by her Alutiiq/Russian grandmother of Kodiak Island. She earned a degree in Biology at Whitman College, WA and studied art at the Vina del Mar Fine Arts School in Chile. She lived in Chile for 18 years and now resides in Anchorage.

Linda has produced murals and paintings for 1% for Art in Public Places and her work can be seen at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, part of the permanent Contemporary Artists Collection. Local and nationally distributed magazines, periodicals, and novelists have used her paintings as cover designs. She has also participated in the Artists in Schools Program as a resident artist.

Linda has been painting and exhibiting her work for over twelve years. An avid birder, hiker, and mountain biker, Linda leads summer plein air painting hikes in the Chugach State Park.

Personal Statement
I was raised in Alaska and lived most of my adult life in Chile. Life in these locations of opposite hemispheres has influenced my life as an artist. Chile and Alaska are both lands of extremes and contrasts, with wild open spaces, strange animals, and exotic plants. A passion for botany, natural history, and a Fine Arts education in Vina del Mar, Chile, have further shaped my career as an artist.

I work without sketches, relying on memories. The major preoccupation with my work is that of color balance. Finding equilibrium with color is what propels me forward in a painting. The painting finds resolution when each color has found its place.

In my paintings I explore the duality of nature, balancing beauty with evil, life with death, and science with spirituality. I strive for a tension between the recognition produced by biological precision and the sensation of strangeness in a foreign environment. I hope to give the viewer a feeling of familiarity, as well as a disconcerting jolt of the unknown.
