Linda's Artist Statement
“As a child growing up on a family farm in rural Texas, I developed a deep and profound love for nature and, especially, for wildflowers. That experience is still part of who I am today and is my inspiration. As an artist, I have chosen to express my soul through interpretive, colorful wildflower paintings that allow the viewer to become part of the experience. By using a somewhat abstract technique, I invite the person looking at my artwork to delve deeper into themselves as well as the paintings, which creates an opportunity for the viewer to personalize the experience. Through my art, I am sharing the simple joy I see in wildflowers for generations to come. I have often been told that my paintings are ‘happy.’ If my art brings joy to someone’s heart and spirit, what more could I ask for?"

Casa de Linda Art Studio, Wimberley, Texas
|
![]() In early 2017, Linda relocated her studio from New Braunfels to Wimberley. The space is not only larger and more suitable for both classes and as her working studio, but it's also just across the street and a few doors down from Wildflower Art Gallery.
As always has been the case, when the studio is not being used for teaching, Linda will hide away there to work on her own art and paint her wildflowers. The studio is not open to the public nor does Linda keep any regular business hours there. However, she is available by appointment and occasionally will schedule a Studio Open House or be open for downtown events.
