Artist Biography:
Linda was born in Vegreville, Alberta. She graduated from the Alberta College of Art in 1974. She received a B.F.A. in 1981 and a M.F.A. in 1988 from the University of Calgary. Public exhibitions include the Glenbow Museum, Edmonton Art Gallery, and various artist-run galleries. The Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Art Gallery of Alberta, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts have collected her work.

In 1988, Linda left Calgary with her family to live on Vancouver Island. She taught at a post secondary photography school in Victoria and continued her creative exploration into photography, writing and painting from her rural studio near the city. In 1997, she moved to a small gulf island where she studied her art with little interruption. After six years of isolated island life, she returned to Alberta - happy to reconnect with the Alberta prairie, friends and Calgary's art community.

Linda is a strong supporter of the principles of Art Education and community involvement in the Visual Arts. She is professionally involved with the Calgary Board of Education, offering her artist-in-residence program privately and through the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. She teaches photography at the University of Calgary with Continuing Education.

Currently, Linda is working on painting, photography, video production and writing.
