A resident of Bar Harbor, Linda lives with husband Terry on the Crooked Road, where her studio is.  They have three grown children and five grandchildren that live on Mount Desert Island and in the Portland area.

Inspiration comes from the grassy fields and rolling New England hills from her childhood and current residence.  When she is painting, it is as if she has been invited into a quiet world full of growing colors.  Her paintings reflect the internal landscape that invites the viewer to step inside and feel the feathered flowers or walk up the hill to a one room cabin.  There is a healing quality to her work.

Linda has spent time studying the faces of the elderly, watching clouds wave and reform themselves, rocks along the shore on Monhegan Island that nature has stacked up high, or the flat sheet of a lake, rich in shoreline blueberries, or trees that stretch and wave in a storm.

Her work is inspired by all these things or by a smell, a word, a song or maybe a question a four year old asks.  She believes that what is felt is what is real and strives to represent those ideas.

She paints with acrylics, watercolors and oils, blending layers of color or using simple washes and much of her work is done in series.

Her studio on Eno Pines Drive, off the Crooked Road is open by appointment or chance.
