Judge of Awards
Born in Washington D.C. Linda moved around the city, into Maryland, Virginia, as an adult lived and travels around the United States. Currently living in Arizona. Growing up, seeing both the city and rural life opened her eyes to try new things, explore new places. Traveling to Africa to view wildlife in their natural surroundings was a lifetime dream come true. Developing bodies of work influenced by her travels, each new adventure opened up a new series.
Linda has been invited to teach pastel, painting, paper making workshops at Ghost Ranch and Taos, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Michigan, Arizona and Zambia. She continues to explore new venues each year for exhibiting her personal work in galleries, group and solo shows. Currently she works with handmade papers, soft pastels or water-based oils to achieve the desired effect. She has works in businesses and private collections throughout North America, South America, Africa and Europe.
