Watercolor wax batiks – Linda's most frequent medium – utilize alternating applications of wax and paint to create a sense of texture, contrasts of light and dark and luminous layers of color.
Linda is a primarily a wildlife photographer and artist, so her paintings begin with an encounter recorded by her camera. Bison, elk, deer, moose, coyotes, burros, wild horses and bighorn sheep – they are all animals that Linda likes to "hunt" with her telephoto lens. Her favorite haunts are Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, and Custer State Park in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota.

After she "bags" some wildlife then it's studio time . . .
. . . choosing just the right photo with an interesting composition and diving in to the design, drawing and painting process. Linda identifies with the birds and animals that she paints - so much so that she has been
known to talk to them - either while taking their picture, or later in the studio, as she tries to do them justice on paper or canvas. She experiences her time in nature and her encounters with wildlife as a privilege and is grateful for the opportunity to see the animals and placesshe visits.
Her goal is to reflect just a bit of the unique wonder, majesty and charm of "all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small" as the old hymn puts it – and to hopefully help others who find inspiration in nature to appreciate one artist’s depiction of some of the creatures with whom we share our world.
