Linda grew up in York, England and lived above the family art shop which may have been the birth of her creative and artistic talents. Upon immigrating to Australia, Linda threw her creativity into fashion and costume design.
Linda was diagnosed with younger onset dementia in her mid-fifties and, although her ability to design and create fashion faded, her creativity did not. She turned to painting and other forms of visual arts, as it proved a valuable resource to show her emotions that she was otherwise struggling to release.
Although dementia presents its challenges, Linda still possesses an artistic flair and is certainly proud knowing that people are appreciating her artwork as a part of this exhibition.
