 Linda is a professional artist, art teacher, business women and community volunteer. With over 20 years of teaching art, she has inspired children and adult artists to express themselves with various media. In addition to sharing her love of art with her students, Linda contributes to community projects within the schools, the arts, and festivals with her artistic abilities  and her sincere desire to understand and connect with her community.

Linda enjoys taking risks and trying new techniques. One of her latest bodies of works is a fusion of form, colour and texture, as she turns her canvases into sculptural and tactile tress, flowers and landscapes. She is deeply inspired by the imagery of western Canada but also draws her inspiration from her travels Her latest trip to Italy has been a great source for many recent paintings.

 For the while now I have been dividing my painting time between my acrylics and encaustics / mixed media  painting. I believe that as an artist, you need to keep trying new media, so that you grow as an artist. I  think that doing both mediums will provide me with enough fuel to feed both passions.

"It is during my artistic travels, that I have met and made some wonderful life long friends. I love to paint and feel very blessed to be able to share my passion. When I look at trees, houses, animals, the ocean or my wonderful  grandchildren, I see a painting in everything!"
