A lifelong artist, Linda is most inspired by the AWE and beauty of nature and Indigenous culture. Her respect for all of life and the appreciation for richness of all diversity is reflected in her work. Living on an organic farm and waking to the amazing fullness of life in Hawaii offers daily grace. Linda works primarily with oil paint and chalk pastels. Also embracing ancient cultural arts in Hawaii, she is currently creating as well as teaching Hawaiian Ipu Gourd Art.

She received a BA in Creative Arts with Honors and MA in Clinical Psychology with Specialization in Expressive Arts. Linda also teaches internationally and is a licensed therapist with a private practice in Kailua Kona.
