American Contemporary Photorealist, Linda Hoard, expresses her art as "...the celebration of observation and visual experimentation...". She began her career in art as a portrait painter, but as she worked on her commissions, she soon found herself more and more preoccupied with the fabric, jewelry and background details of her subjects. This preoccupation led to her start in painting a Contemporary Photorealistic style. Her oversize still lifes have continued through the mid-1980s. Her concept in this creative process is to take a very ordinary object and depict it in an exaggerated fashion, through size and color extreme, and invite the viewer to perceive the object in a whole new light. In the late 1980s, Linda returned to the Pacific Northwest and at that time added oversize florals to her continuing studies of glass, reflections and fluids.
