Linda is originally from a little beach town in Hawaii on the island of
O'ahu. She moved to the mainland for college and graduated from Humboldt State University in California with a Bachelor of Arts in 1992. That same year Linda was awarded a scholarship to the California State University Summer Arts program to work on the 20" x 24" Polaroid camera, which is one of only three cameras of its kind in the world. Linda showed and sold her art nationally for several years before discovering the lure of interactive media. In 1995 she opened an Internet consulting business in Silicon Valley and was recognized as an award winning new media artist. After over a decade
of working as a web site designer and programmer, Linda has returned to creating her art.
Today, Linda is an accomplished artist and popular art teacher in Portland,Oregon and serves on the Board of Directors for Trillium Artisans.
Tranquility Series
With my Tranquility series I draw inspiration from the myriad of plants that surround me. These intimate views of flora reveal microcosms of delicate magnificence waiting to be explored. My background fields are composed of French words, fading in and out of focus, their significance determined by the viewer's interpretation.
I compose my own photographs in order to more closely communicate my vision, but no matter how completely I plan the end result is often a surprise even to me. I'm attracted to the serendipity of the act of layering paper,rubbing paint and applying wax in these collages. My aim is to evoke a feeling of calm and peace, a place for tired eyes to rest.
