I am a maker; creating has become my life’s work
My creative passion was sparked at an early age after feeling compelled to glide my mom’s lipstick across the bathroom mirror and experiencing pure joy in the sensuous mark-making. Extensive experience as a graphic designer, art director and arts educator further fuelled an exploration of mixed media as well as large-scale collaborative mosaics for the community. I’ve also given art talks on cultivating creativity in all ages, hoping to spread the joy that expressive mark-making can bring to a wide audience. My time is now devoted to a daily art practice in my home studio, my happy place.
My work has been exhibited throughout Ontario in solo shows and juried group shows and is held in private collections across Canada.

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS - mixed media on rusted steel
“Growing up in Sault Ste. Marie with the woods as my playground has
shaped my sense of wonder and spiritual connection to nature. The colours,
the quiet, the way light plays across rock and water—it stays with you.”Inspired by the rugged beauty of Northern Ontario, Linda combines traditional materials with unconventional substrates, evoking the textures, shapes, and quiet drama of the northern wilderness, inviting viewers to experience the familiar landscape in an entirely new light. Her latest work transforms industrial steel into luminous landscapes layered with paint, fabric, paper, and rusted textures. These mixed media pieces harness the raw, weathered surfaces of metal, altered through sanding and oxidation, to mirror the elemental character of the land.
