“My Mentor is Linda Jones — In more recent years with Linda, she has let me go more on my own with painting. When I was just starting, her help was more like a step by step on what I needed to do. Now I am mostly on my own, but she helps with an outer perspective on my work, like saying what I need to fix or adjust, I asked her many times if something looked right or needed to be changed.”
— Robbie Bilesky, from their Capstone Grade 12 Project
“[Linda] has a way of getting you to ‘think outside the box’ and explore your creative side. I can’t think of a better way to enhance or begin your artistic adventure!”
— Shelley S
“Our daughter expressed an interest in art but it wasn’t until she took a 3 day class with Linda that we realized this was for her! Being introduced to Linda and having our daughter in her art classes has been the best activity for her all round. She is really growing as an artist and this is because of Linda. I am now taking her adult classes, tapping into a passion of mine and it’s been the best decision!”
— Nancy B
“My daughter has been a student of Linda’s for 7 years. Linda is a talented artist and an inspiring mentor. A true creative spirit.”
— Julie B
“I have taken many classes and workshops over the years, but can easily say that painting with Linda has by far been my favourite creative learning endeavour. Her instruction style forces you to learn the techniques by your own hand, and in doing so gives you the courage to try more on your own as well. ”
