Custom Artwork
Whether she's creating a custom oil painting, a large-scale mural or guiding fellow artists, Linda's work is always infused with a deep sense of passion and artistry.
"I love hearing the stories behind the ideas for the original piece and being a part of the moment."
Commissioned paintings are a wonderful way to celebrate a moment in time, or create a new one.
Custom work may require 6-8 weeks for painting and drying time.
