Artist's Statement
Linda has been fascinated with art since
childhood when she studied watercolor with a local Atlanta Artist. She
attended the University of Georgia and received BFA and MFA degrees in
graphic design.
Her career began at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City,
MO where she designed greeting cards in watercolor media.
After returning to Georgia, she worked for several
years as a layout artist before establishing a retail and direct marketing
business with her husband.
In the 1990’s she re-established her love for
painting and began attending workshops throughout the US and taking courses
in Watercolor portraiture. She studied with
Jan Kunz, Naomi Brotherton, Judy Wagner and Tony Van
Hasselt among others.
The rich tapestry of events in Linda’s life
influences her work. She travels extensively to Europe as a tour host with
her husband and throughout the US and New Zealand.
Besides residing now in Colorado, her other home
is in the North Georgia mountains where Linda in semi-retirement helps her
daughter with their family owned travel business.
She is member of Woman of Watercolor in Summit
County, Colorado and enjoys sharing ideas and teaching newcomers the art of
painting and sketching. With every spare moment Linda devotes time to
painting in different media as well as sketching and drawing.
Her style is eclectic as it constantly evolving
and reflecting new techniques and influences. Color is a strong point, which
permeates all of her works.
Look for her future exhibits and work throughout
the Colorado Mountains.
