An Indiana native, and a Purdue graduate, Linda moved to Atlanta in 1971 working with Eastern Airlines as a flight attendant. In 1975 she started her career with a commercial photo lab and served in that industry until she retired in 2012. She has always loved photography, inherited from her father in their darkroom at home.

As soon as she got her first Macro lens, she was hooked. She has exhibited in local and regional galleries. She is a member of the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association, the Avondale Estates Art Guild, the Booth Photography Guild, and GNPA.

In 2017, Linda was honored as 2nd Quarter Artist in Residence, Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association., with over 30 of her images at the Blue Ridge Art Center.

Her work is currently being shown at the Downtown Gallery in Cartersville, as well as many of their past shows, and was also in the 2025 Booth Photography Guild’s Annual juried exhibit, as well as many of their previous exhibits. She had two images in a traveling exhibit with over 90 fine art nature images called Nature’s Generosity and now has two images in the currant, spectacular Nature’s Generosity exhibit that will be traveling in galleries and museums starting in Blue Ridge, Ga, and stretching from Virginia to Texas through 2028.

Her favorite motto is from Robert Bresson, a French film director, - “Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen”. And as Ansel Adams said, (found in his book Ansel Adams an Autobiography), “I’m addicted to the found object”. Linda’s found objects are Star Magnolia pieces and parts, Butterfly Milkweed fluffs, pieces and parts, as well as the seed pods from the Golden Raintree, and anything else in nature that one would just walk right by.
