In Between sits within the quiet space between places. The valley holds a stillness that feels neither arrival nor departure, but something more settled, a moment of pause within movement.
There is a sense of being contained here. The surrounding hills offer a kind of shelter, allowing space to breathe before continuing on. It reflects those times when direction hasn’t yet formed, but the ground beneath feels steady enough to stand on.
This work speaks to the value of the in-between places, the ones that don’t demand decision, but offer calm, perspective, and the chance to simply be where you are.

Linda McFetridge has a long professional background in the arts, with a practice shaped by a strong interest in how people navigate space, presence, and change. Her paintings explore relationships and belonging through landscape, and the visual ways we orient ourselves to place, to one another, and to uncertainty. She is drawn to environments that hold a sense of pause, such as rivers, valleys, and coastal structures like lighthouses that offer guidance simply by their presence. Linda's work reflects an ongoing interest in how experience is processed through space, and how stillness can become a foundation from which confidence, direction, and possibility emerge.
