Linda received her Bachelor of Arts Degree and a California Teacher's Credential from San Jose State University. Her love of art and her teaching background have blended together during many teaching opportunities. Linda was a Resident Artist in the Yosemite Art Program at the National Park for 17 years.

In her art, she is most interested in color and light. She attributes some of her interest and fascination with color to the fact that her father manufactured and sold paint at his factory. He invented and patented a machine to make 2,176 colors available after starting with a base of white paint. Some of the first color sample books were put together by hand, and Linda helped with that process.

Linda’s art has been in state-wide juried shows and local shows in California and Hawaii.

She is a member of Plein Air Painters of Hawaii and Maui Plein Air Painters. Linda received her Bachelor of Arts Degree and a California Teacher's Credential from San Jose State University.
