A retrospective of a long-time popular Elliot Lake artist and volunteer has been set up in remembrance of Linda Finn.
Finn passed away on her 80th birthday on January 28th after a year-long battle with ALS.
ARIEL, the local art group at the art community centre in Elliot Lake, has mounted a retrospective of her work until the end of March.
For the past 60 years, she has been a prolific artist and well-known singer.
Finn was a member of and held leadership positions in the Elliot Lake Arts Club, The Northern Ontario Art Association, the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Ontario Society of Artists with her work was featured in a number of galleries across Ontario.
Her culminating achievement was a solo show titled “The War Letters Project” shown in 11 different public galleries across Ontario and documented in a movie “The Old Tin Box”, which can be viewed by visiting www.lindafinn.com
When it came to music, she sang in church choirs and joined The Jewels of Harmony and Jewels and Gents and in between her two loves, found time to be an avid volunteer in the city.
A celebration of her life will be held this Spring.
