Artist’s Statement:

“Born in Devon, Linda was brought up in Dorset, she spent most of her adult life in Sussex whilst pursuing a career in Accountancy and IT. Taking early retirement and moving back to Dorset in 2001 her interest in arts and crafts were rekindled after joining a local art group.
She started painting with acrylics but soon began to incorporate texture into her work, especially found and recycled materials.
A love of experimentation with different media led to an exploration of collage and printmaking before discovering Felt.
Now working with Wet Felt and Needle-Felt, her 3D work can be found at the Purbeck Artisan Yard and she enjoys teaching this craft at the Purbeck workshop for those affected by cancer.
Linda is influenced by wildlife and the coastal walks she takes with both her husband and dog, often recreating a subject in different media to capture the distinctive and diverse aspects of a scene.”
