Linda Kirby

 

Linda is the eldest of 9 children. Linda comes from a long line of artists of various mediums. The arts range from visual to the musical, written to the spoken. Linda reflects often on how her mother would paint a scene from a distant country on one of the walls in their home when she was a young child or how her father would flatten a brown paper bag for the children to draw on.
