Linda Guðlaugsdóttir joined the Icelandic Watercolour Society in 2021. She graduated with a degree in graphic design from the Icelandic Acadamy of the Arts in 1990. She has worked for twenty years in graphic design of magazines.
At present she has the opportunity to travel within Iceland and become better aquainted with her country‘s beauty. She has hiked often in a group carrying the essentials on her back. And the essentials include, of course, her watercolours and sketchpad. She is attracted to the wilderness, the light, the everchanging weather and the vegetation‘s fight for survival. Back in the studio Linda rediscovers her experience out in nature – its magnificance and transience. Heat, softness and glaciers.
