I am interested in capturing the inner spirit of the people and places I paint with the use of luminous light and color.   I hope the painting connects  in some emotional way with the viewer. I am also deeply committed to teaching art and helping students reach higher levels of artistic development. It is a joy to paint and to share that with others. 

Linda's Upcoming Show in Feb 2010: Surrender to Nature: A Journey to Joy & Peace
While painting en plein air in intense solitude in Provence, France I needed to surrender doubts, noise and other chaotic distractions to fine the essence of joy and peace in the natural beauty of God's Creation.  That experience led me to paint landscapes inspired  by memories of trips to Europe and the Northeast.
