ABOUT BACKROADS 766
Backroads is the studio of Lynda Williamson, a Calgary-based mixed-media textile artist.
Currently, her practice focuses on exploring her relationship with nature and society and the tension found between the endless skies she finds in the wilds and the rigid and constraining rules imposed by man. Recent pieces have mediated this conflict in her subject matter and questioned whether our limitations come from within us or are impressed upon us.
​
Lynda spends her time between Bergen and Calgary, Alberta.
