Since leaving school she has worked in various industries, from education to survey companies and advertising.
When Linda first came to Noosa in 2002, she had nothing but rudimentary ideas about painting and drawing, she just played tennis and golf. She has always appreciated the visual arts by visiting galleries whenever she visits and has been lucky enough to have been to some of the world’s greatest art galleries.

So Linda started painting in watercolour at home using a book she borrowed from a friend. Since then she has learned new skills by attending workshops with Jenni Herde, Jenny Kelly, John Newman , Froyle Neideck, and others.
