Liina Lindenburg

Liina’s favourite subject is nature - Tasmania with rugged coastline weathered by the winds of the roaring forties and the Northern European climate which has moulded the landscape and the people living on it.
Her works are often in deep muted sea tones using different textures to achieve a three-dimensional effect.
