Linda Sprau
Linda Sprau is an artist working primarily in oil and encaustic painting. Since beginning her artistic journey in 2014, she has explored a variety of subjects, including landscapes, florals, and figurative works that celebrate the beauty of nature and the meaningful connections between people and their pets.
Inspired by the colors, textures, and rhythms of the natural world, Linda’s work seeks to capture moments of beauty, emotion, and connection. In 2025, she expanded her artistic practice to include encaustic painting, embracing the unique depth, luminosity, and tactile qualities of this ancient medium.
Encaustic painting is an ancient technique dating back to the Greeks. It consists of natural bees wax and damar resin (crystallized tree sap). The wax contains pigments and is melted and painted onto a wooden panel. Each layer is then fused to the previous layer. The paintings are extremely archival and will not melt unless temperatures exceed 150 degrees fahrenheit. Leaving them in a hot car or putting them in front of a window with direct desert-like sun is not advisable.
Linda’s artwork has been exhibited and sold through Spilt Ink Gallery and Gifts, the Beaverton Art Mix exhibitions (2020, 2021, and 2022), and The Real Deal Gift Store (2020–2024). Through her paintings, she hopes to bring warmth, joy, and a sense of connection to those who experience her work.
