Profile
My name is Linda, and I’m an art teacher at a local high school. Some of my wonderful students have work featured here on RedBubble-so does my son and hubby! I love to travel, and enjoy seeing photos and artwork from all over the world. -I love to paint, draw, work in fiber and fabric, and also pottery.
Recently, I attended an environmental science program for teachers through Miami University of Oxford, Ohio. It was a soul-changing experience. I plan to dedicate more time to my own creative endeavors. Too often, I give away my creativity, and leave nothing for myself. I want to try to remember that I cannot help others as much if I have nothing left to give.
I am an eclectic artist
“The Mystery of Nature is the only thing worth pondering”—Linda McNeill Wilson
“What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth.”
—Chief Seattle

“You may say that I’m a dreamer….but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us….and the world will live as one.”

The Haunting of the Medical Ward for the Terminally Ill at MANCI
At the top of the steps-I was at the rear of our foursome-I felt a cold, icy finger brush across my shoulder—it felt like a warning…”don’t go here”.....
