About the Artist
At home in the Ozarks, each day begins with feeding the animals including mama
coon and her latest batch of little raccoons. At one time Linda’s menagerie
counted 57 pets including horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, geese, a
pheasant, and peacocks. Her husband, Neal, and daughters Cathy and Lisa share
her love of animals. Quail, turkey, rabbits, and deer are often seen on their 12
acres of woods and pastures in the country outside of Bentonville, Arkansas.
These animals are a wonderful source of reference to Linda’s many oil paintings.
Linda, Neal and the girls attended art shows and festivals around the country
for nearly 30 years. They retired from the show circuit in 2002 so Linda could
concentrate more on the licensing end of their business.
A wonderful art teacher throughout her senior high school, Julia Keeler, laid
the foundation of Linda’s life long love of art. She went on to study at the Des
Moines Art Center and Drake University. They moved to Houston, Texas in 1968
where Neal encouraged Linda to stay home and paint. When he sold all her
paintings at his first art show it wasn’t long before he quit Shell Oil and
opened up the first of two art galleries and frame shops. Linda started to
publish her own paintings in 1973, and they sold the prints and originals at the
art festivals and to her wholesale markets. They moved to the Ozarks in 1980 to
be closer to her family and more centrally located for their travels.
Over the years, more than two dozen of Linda’s paintings have been selected by
Ducks Unlimited, Quail Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, and the U. S. Air Force
Association for collector prints to raise money for conservation. 35 of her
paintings have been used for magazine and catalog covers, and her work has
appeared in many books, and won numerous awards.
Linda now works with over three dozen companies licensing her paintings for
products which include weavings with Manual Woodworkers, collector products with
Bradford Exchange, popcorn tins, checks, wall paper borders, puzzles, boxes,
clocks, thermometers, magnets, greeting cards, coasters, and needle craft.
