She will also be displaying several examples of her award-winning work at the meeting.
As part of her artist bio on her website, Linda states “Attuned to nature, my paintings reflect the essence of a rustic, simple life. Coaxing out the bright light in my work through negative painting presents a fascinating challenge, as I integrate the beauty of the natural surroundings into my art. My tropical watercolor paintings feature landscapes, seascapes, wildlife portraits, coral reef scenes, and mangrove habitats”.
Linda is involved in education, writing and receiving grants for outreach education and stewardship projects, while mentoring youth exploring conservation issues. She is a primary permit holder with Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission for all sea turtle data collection, education, and strandlings on Little Gasparilla Island. She also volunteers year round as a shorebird monitor.
