Truly an inspired artist, Linda Acrey, has created artwork since she could hold a pencil. She was drawing people by the time she was two... “The art just comes through”, she states, “God has given me a wonderful gift”. Childhood memories of the colorful seasons in her hometown in Pennsylvania inspired her and she captures those rich colors in her painting to this day.

Her family moved to the San Fernando Valley in southern California when she was ten years old. She majored in art throughout her school years and college and gained many honors and awards. Some of her early works were signed by her middle name, Corinne.

She has traveled throughout the United States and she has also lived in Texas and Nevada. Each experience has added inspiration for her paintings. She spent many years in the eastern Sierra’s painting and photographing the beautiful scenery.

Unlike many artists, Linda does not focus on one subject, style or medium. Variety has truly been her spice of life. From acrylics to watercolors, pencils, color pencils, charcoal, oil, photography and collage materials and digital art —you name it she can create art from it– from abstract to minute detail. Her intricate color pencil drawings are splendid. Her abstract impressionism acrylic painting works display her very own distinct "Signature" style.

Although she is considered left handed, technically she is "ambidextrous with left handed dominance" and she often draws and paints with both hands simultaneously. It is particularly interesting to watch and is a crowd pleasing technique at her demo’s and shows.  

After having raised a family, Acrey took the time to blossom out with her artwork. She has exhibited in shows and her artwork was available in numerous galleries throughout the U.S. including the Sacramento and sierra region until she created this web site. Now her works are available here online.

She is conducting fund-raisers with art for various organizations including her Charity Limited Editions for "The Downtown Sacramento Masonic Temple Building Fund" and S.A.R.'s annual CanTree fundraiser to benefit the Salvation Army's Sacramento Food Bank.

She teaches art classes and workshops.  Her business, Acrey Art, retails art to the public and wholesales art to galleries, framers, businesses and corporations. 

She has written articles about art and has been published in HOME Improvement & Remodeling Magazine. Her artwork was featured on the covers of the Sacramento magazines Inside the City, and The Elk Grove Community Resource Guide. She has been featured in articles in Guide to the Arts and The Sacramento Business Journal and she has been in Art Talk magazine. She has exhibited at the International ART EXPO Shows

Acrey has created a line of stationary note cards under the Acrey Art label featuring her most popular art designs and is a self published artist.

Her original artwork and signed and numbered Limited Edition prints are part of numerous private collections across the United States, Germany, Puerto Rico, Australia and the Philippines!

She created the web site SacramentoArt.com
in 2000 and created this one to open the artist advertising opportunities to a national audience rather than focusing on one region.

Art Collectors may now shop online to purchase Acrey’s artwork

Artist Statement

"God has given me a gift. The art just comes through. There was never a doubt in my mind as to what I wanted to I wanted to do all my life! I am an artist.
I find that with art there are so many choices to enjoy, explore, experiment with, and to create with, to capture my interest and excite me for a lifetime.

Over the years, I have opened my mind and exposed myself to experimenting in a volume of various established styles and mediums. I learned from each one. The process allowed me to develop several of my own unique styles in a variety of mediums.

I have a great sense of composition and color, a theme that emerges throughout all of my works. I think that if an artist possess an understanding of light and shadow, they can draw or paint anything once they learn the basic techniques.

I like realism because of the discipline it takes to convey sight onto matter. I also enjoy the freedom of abstract and impressionism to convey thoughts, ideas and emotions into a piece. To convey that to the viewing audience is like communicating in a different language. People ‘hear’ it in their own ‘artistic tongue’.

I have developed several styles in various mediums to give myself the variety that I need to thrive in my passion."
