Linda’s professional background includes teaching at University of Kansas and Johnson County Community College, as well as directing the non-profit arts programs – Arts at reStart for Youth and Adults. The programs received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and Missouri Arts Council.
Throughout her long career, Linda’s studio practice remained active. Her artwork includes architectural historic landmarks, as well as residential homes. They are illustrated in pencil, pen & ink, watercolor and mixed media. Two-dimensional maps, perspectives and vignettes are integrated into her drawings to illustrate multi-viewpoints and multi-reactions when viewing buildings and surrounding landscape. She is interested in the historic-background of structures, which is incorporated into many of her drawings.
