Linda graduated from Plymouth State University and later earned a certificate in Studio Art from the University of Southern Maine. Linda has exhibited her art in Maine, New Hampshire and throughout Southern California.
Linda is inspired by the beauty and love of all animals and the movement of the ocean. Traveling is a source of continued inspiration and she often is intentional about examining the dance between color combinations in her every day life. Discovering patterns on the beach is exciting and Linda is also inspired by the mystery of underwater life.
