Linda grew up in western Colorado, where she has many memories that she paints from working with grandparents: ranching, along with lots of horseback riding, and hiking in the mountains. Now living in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico she continues to be inspired by the mountains and outdoors.

Linda works mostly in watercolor, and occasionally acrylic and oil paintings. She is a Signature Artist with New Mexico Watercolor Society (NMWS), a member of the New Mexico Art League, and recently became a member of the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico (PAPNM)

From 1970-1973, Linda studied under Don Radovich and received a B.A. in Art at Western State College of Colorado, (now Western Colorado University).  Linda also has studied under Carol Carpenter and Charles (Bud) Edmondson and taken various New Mexico Watercolor Society workshops (e.g. Tony Couch, Frank Eber, Keiko Tanabe, Dale Laitinen).
