"Linda Koch’s painted panels illustrate a narrative of the forest in dazzling, vivid colors and wooded spaces rendered in uncommon perspectives. Represented in monumental landscapes, the artist achieves highly detailed surfaces that encourage the beholder to see beyond the foreground plant forms. Brilliant tonalities of red, yellow, blue, orange and violet prove an attraction to color and particularly pure color. Interweaving landscape with these exceptional hues, themes of nature and forest are taken to intriguing extremes."
