LINDA GLOVER GOOCH

Mesa, Arizona

Linda Glover Gooch grew up in the warmth of the Southwest. Spending time as a child playing in the orchard groves, washes, and arroyos of Southern California is how Linda developed a love of landscape. Studying and working on location through the west has been her pursuit for the past 30 years. Linda’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and museums and has won awards such as the Patrons’ Choice Award at the Hockaday Museum exhibition “A Timeless Legacy: Women Artists of Glacier National Park” (2017 and 2019); the Governor’s Choice and Artists’ Choice Awards at the 2019 “Cowgirl Up!” exhibition at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum; and Best Body of Work at the 2014 Grand Canyon Celebration of Art. Her paintings are featured in “Art of the National Parks: Historic Connections, Contemporary Interpretations,” and have been showcased in Art of the West Magazine, Southwest Art, and Plein Air Magazine.

Sunsets at the canyon can be hypnotizing as the glow in the sky influence the majestic walls. The mesas and buttes edges catch the golden glow that spreads across the canyon creating a beautiful display. This display of clouds created sunrays blasting upward while blanketing the canyon with beauty.
