Hi,

My name is Linda Stewart. I was always interested in art. I used to trace everything I could when I was in elementary school. When I was in 5th grade I was supposed to do a project for geography class,so I decided to draw North and South America. I received and A on the drawing.By the way,I attended Upper Bern School in Shartlesville,Pa. and when I went to Hamburg Area High School, I began being interested in painting along with drawing. I had an art teacher who thought I was real good at drawing and painting she wanted to help me get started but my mom and dad didn't want anything to do with that idea. They didn't think it was more then a hobbie and decided I couldn't do this for a living, but I didn't give up. I went to work and got married and had my two children, Timothy and Valerie, then I decided to start drawing and painting again. I attended the International Correspondence School in Scranton, Pa. and received a master arts award.
I wasn't satisfied with that so I had 6 years of oil painting classes at Fred Wetzel’s art studio in Kempton, Pa. and 2 years of portrait classes at the Wyomissing Institute of fine Arts in Reading, Pa. I also had 4 years of watercolor classes with my high school art teacher in her home in Hamburg.
I received various ribbons from local fairs. I took my art to various markets and craft shows.
I paint animals, birds, landscapes, etc. from photographs.
I know would like to share my knowledge with oters, who are starting to draw and paint.
I have a website with the information I learned and still learning. If interested check out www.Lindas craft world
