Linda Foy IS AN ARTIST whose work honors the landscape, nature, and environment of the american west.
Linda Foy has lived in Twin Bridges, Montana since 1993, working as a fly fishing guide, property caretaker, and chef to support her art practice. She attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA (1977-79), followed by a change in artistic focus, culminating in a degree in the practice of art from the University of California, Berkeley (1985). In 2020, she opened a storefront working studio and gallery in Twin Bridges.
In 2022 she was awarded an NEA/ARPA grant from the Montana Arts Council for $10,000 for a project consisting of 4 large-scale paintings, entitled The Four Seasons of Montana: From the River Bottom to the Clouds Above.
In April 2023, this series was projected to accompany a concert of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at Montana State University, featuring young musicians supported by Baroque Music Montana. In July 2023, Baroque Music Montana performed in her studio, alongside new paintings inspired by Nicolas Poussin’s Four Seasons.
In late 2023, she began a series of interpretations of maps of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, including its geology, hydrology, and animal migration routes. Maps produced by the USGS, and research biologists in Montana and Wyoming serve as the basis for her paintings. In 2024, she began to focus on the migration and movement mapping data for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), the fastest land mammal in the Americas, with some migration routes totaling nearly 300 miles.
