Linda is a mixed media collage artist and art educator who has exhibited in Canada and abroad. Extensive experience in drawing, printmaking, photography and graphic design provides the eclectic palette used in her artwork. Imagery is assembled on wood, steel or paper to create a new narrative of repurposed materials that informs, inspires and delights.
Her creative passion was sparked at an early age when feeling compelled to glide her mom’s lipstick across the bathroom mirror and experiencing pure joy in the sensuous mark-making. She is a recovering graphic designer who dove back into fine arts after raising two boys. An arts educator and active member of the Markham Group of Artists, Linda has spearheaded several collaborative mosaics to hang in local venues. In addition to giving back to the community, Linda has given art talks on cultivating creativity in all ages, hoping to spread the joy that expressive mark-making can bring.
“Growing up in northern Ontario where the woods were my playground and science lab fuelled me to explore my northern roots and spiritual connection to nature. I am a maker; creating has become my life’s work”
