Linda has been drawing all of her life but only recently picked up a brush and began painting. She attributes her knowledge and success in painting to her daughter-in-law, Melissa, granddaughter to the famous artist, Pat Ford; her son, James, an artist and musician; her daughter, Lea Anne, an artist and race car driver; Ken Callaway, teacher and artist; and, to her dear friend, Gerard, a musician and co teacher, her “greatest critic and supporter” of her artwork!
