Meet Artist Linda Budde

Linda Pretorius (née Budde) was born in Johannesburg South Africa. Married with two children. A self-taught Artist who relocated to Gansbaai towards the end of 2017. Today she works from her studio in De Kelders, Gansbaai.

Linda loved drawing, since she was very young. Her inspiration for painting began in 2003 after a discussion with a friend on holiday who had just taken up art classes. At first, she focused on painting wildlife (including the Big 5).

However, raising children and other business ventures left little opportunity for her to grow her own art as it took up much of her time. She stopped after about a year.
Once Linda relocated the passion was reborn in her and with the beautiful, peaceful surroundings of the Overberg region, she began painting again, this time it was not only wildlife but also landscapes, seascapes, ships and the Marine Big 5. Her artwork portrays many places she has visited over time. She has participated in numerous art exhibitions throughout her career. Linda’s art has found new homes locally and overseas such as England, Scotland, the USA, the Netherlands, and Bahrein to mention but a few.

Her medium of preference is Oil Paint.

Linda is also a member of:
• SASA (South African Society for Artists)
• Gallery 69
• SouthAfricanArtists.com
