My name is Linda, I am the mother of 3 grown children, step mom too 2 grown children. We have 11 grandchildren between us now, I am retired from the hectic retail business and loving having time too paint now that I am an empty Nester. I spent 4 years in the U.S. Navy, and went back to college at 31 too get my degree in Horticulture, just another art form, owned my own landscape business in Charleston, S.C., sold it and moved back home too upstate NY. My husband and family are my best supporters and critics of all my art work, without them I think I would give it up again. I have waited along time too do what I have had deep in my soul for along time, and now this is my time too express who I really am. I paint anything that doesn't move, have been learning the space painting technique for three months now, and love the challenge of no paint brushes allowed. I have expanded the techniques, using botanical' s from my garden, such as leaves, ferns, grass and sticks. I am cutting strips of magazines and newspapers to create my naked trees and use a plastic butter knife, nails, and scissors too scratch in limbs, details for rocks and mountains. I am looking forward too new ideas and techniques for those who want too share. Cold weather is here so I will be limited now on my space to do these as in I paint outside, I live in Upstate NY, autumn has arrived with wind and rain. My favorite season of the year though.

I love fall colors,,, orange, yellow, red and brown. I love new challenges in any art form. Spending time with family and friends, showing my grandchildren the joy of painting, and exploring mother nature, two of my grand daughters are already showing artistic minds. I love camping, dinners and barbecues with my family, and creating, learning, and sharing.

HAVE NONE, that would make me closed minded, and my heart and soul is open too the universe.
