Linda started painting in 2001. A couple ladies she worked with got her started. A year later she retired from her 32 year career with the Navy Department and went to her first painting convention and she was hooked. She loves it. She learned to paint with acrylic, oil, pastels, watercolor, pen and ink and more. Linda paints on wood, metal, canvas, fabric and watercolor paper. In addition to her dedication to her art, Linda is a past president of Orange County Humane Society and currently volunteers for the Humane Society and the Animal Shelter. Linda has lived at Lake of the Woods for more then 30 years. She currently serves as Secretary for LOW Arts. Contact her at sutphinl@comcast.net.
