Linda is a second-career artist who has painted in watercolor off and on all of her adult life. She was gaining momentum with her painting when a bout with breast cancer did two things – she became the “artist-in-residence” on the chemo ward, and it made her serious about being an artist. Linda has painted in wax batik ever since.
The wax batik method utilizes alternating applications of wax and paint to create a sense of texture, contrasts of light and dark, and luminous layers of color. Linda primarily paints wildlife although she has also turned her hand to people, flowers and birds.
Linda is accompanied to her studio by her cat, Mister Moses. He often “claims” her paintings by sitting near them, laying on them, or otherwise supervising their development. Linda is convinced that many of her followers on social media are most interested in her cat’s antics! She may be right.
Linda teaches watercolor wax batik and is also an award-winning artist. She is a signature member of Red River Watercolor Society, Colorado Watercolor Society, Western Federation of Watercolor Societies (a consortium of watercolor societies throughout the western United States) as well as Rocky Mountain National Watercolor.
