Background
Linda Weil is a professional artist with over 40 years of experience as a professional
artist specialising in all forms of drawing medium, but particularly graphite, Linda Weil is known for her
engaging and detailed drawings of wildlife, nature studies and found objects. In the past decade Linda
has returned to her love of imaginative, science fiction and fantastical works. Melding her experience as a
naturalist artist with a mechanical bent, Linda’s art may reflect a steam punk vision of the world, an
intricate exploration of an animal’s fur, a favourite folk tale, or the discovery of the history of a found
object – all expressed through graphite with the occasional hint of colour pencil or organic stain. Linda
is represented by and exhibits regularly at Tacit Art in Abbotsford, Victoria, as well as a variety of regional
Australian art shows. Further examples of her works can be viewed at:
