About Linda Calvert Jacobson
Background |
Linda Calvert Jacobson grew up in South Texas where wildflowers bloom profusely from Spring through early Summer. This annual color explosion is her inspiration. A native of Floresville, Texas, she has been drawing since she was old enough to hold a pencil and painting since the age 14. Linda credits her parents with encouraging her as a child to paint and study art, which has become a life-long passion.
