This art began as a demo for my painting class who wanted to paint waves splashing.
Artist Bio: Linda always considered herself a fine artist
first, even after over 33 years working in the graphic arts industry. From a young age her parents knew how much she loved her art time and encouraged her to express herself. In junior high she took an oil painting class and by high school she was stretching large canvases to paint on with the help of her carpenter father.
While attending Southern Connecticut State University for her BFA , Linda studied and loved Painting, Printmaking, and Photography. Drawing was a large part of the prints she created and after college Linda began to use drawing with air brushed inks so that her results appeared to be colored lithographs. Linda won a number of awards with these pieces which were more surrealistic. Her first outdoor show was with the Glastonbury On-The-Green Show where she won 1st place in Drawing and 2nd place in Printmaking.
After college, Linda found a job as a graphic artist and was in that field for over 33 years…but fine artwork is where her heart is. She finally felt that she could devote herself full time to being the artist she could only be in her spare time all these years.
Linda has exhibited throughout Connecticut and on Long Island and is a member of the New Haven Paint and Clay Club and an Associate member of the Lyme Art Association. She was juried into Maple and Main Gallery of Fine Art in Chester, Connecticut in early 2013 and was a member artist for over five years until it closed in 2017. She was chosen to be the new President of the CT Women Artists organization in 2018 and served for 3 years. She is now an Elected Artist member for AAPL.
