The Art of Being Amazing: Linda Finstad’s Playful Approach to Creativity

What if being amazing was something you could learn? Meet Linda Finstad—an artist, author, and creativity cheerleader who proves that art and life shine brightest with fun, curiosity, and a touch of mischief.

From Coffee to Canvas: A Creative Rebel’s Journey

Linda’s artistic journey is anything but conventional. Known for her coffee art portraits, equine masterpieces, and whimsical take on life, she has built a career by embracing bold ideas and playful expression. Her philosophy is simple: creativity thrives in an environment of play, exploration, and confidence.

She turns everyday objects into art, encourages fearless self-expression, and invites others to experience the joy of creating without hesitation. Whether she’s using coffee as paint or guiding others to reignite their creative spark, her work is filled with energy and inspiration.

Why Play Unlocks Creativity

Ever feel like inspiration is out of reach? Linda believes creativity lives in everyone, and play is the key to unlocking it. In her blog How the Power of Play Boosts Creativity, she explores how embracing curiosity leads to breakthroughs in art, business, and everyday life.

Want to experiment with your creative side? Grab a brush, a coffee cup, or anything that sparks joy, and start creating.

New Release: Being Amazing is an Art Form

Linda’s latest book, Being Amazing is an Art Form, shares practical steps to reclaim confidence, creativity, and a vibrant outlook on life. Success, fulfillment, and self-expression are not reserved for the lucky few. This book proves that every person has the potential for an extraordinary life.

This place is amazing ! My wife and I stayed here for three nights for a wedding and it was absolutely stunning. First let’s start with its curb side beauty and continues inside with its rustic wood appearance. Once you walk inside it continues with more wooded beauty and very well looked after. The rooms are very spacious and super clean and looked after. Then you get to meet the hostesses that do everything you need and look after you like your their own. Annette, Brooke and Landon were absolutely amazing. From great drinks being hand delivered and always a smile on their face to the chef in the kitchen that made food that was so mouthwatering each day we were there. The breakfast was to die for I could eat the eggs Benny all day. Great location quiet area of canmore and easy place to find and park. Thanks for having us and we will be back.
