About the Artist...
Like Frida and De Lempicka who came before her, Linda Marie is adding a hint of femininity and glamour to an historically male dominated profession. Her paintings invite the viewer to step into her lexicon of a life lived passionately. She was mentored by acclaimed artist & muralist, Guillermo Berghusen. They painted and held 2 exhibitions together before his return to South America. Marie's paintings are in collections in the U.S. and abroad. Her work is inspired by people she has met on her travels, dreams, visions and the supernatural.

After a childhood of sports, dance and Sunday School, she entered college aiming to become a nurse. But fate had other plans. Whilst working in a medical office during her junior year, she was offered a modeling deal. It was during these years she recalled her favorite hobbies as a child and began to teach herself to draw, paint and play piano. She also realized that the industry of "looks and perfection" could not hold her interest and she desired to do something more meaningful. She took a management position at a Native American gallery and began traveling periodically to the Southwest. The land and the people changed her forever and her imagination took full flight. She worked alone in her studio for years and found her true home among painters, writers and musicians. When she's not painting, you can find her playing piano, guitar, singing in churches and with bands.

Note from the Artist:
I am deeply touched by humans, their behavior and the "why" that puts us all in the circumstances life's poker table deals us. Equally, I am moved by the connection of head, hand, eye and soul and when firing on all fours-the magic we have the ability to create. I offer a deep thank you to those who have purchased my art work as well as those stopping by for a look.

May your life be filled with real passion, color and focus,
Linda Marie
