About Linda


In this latest body of work, I have chosen to exercise my demons so to speak and examine the violent nature in today’s youth. As a parent of two boys who are intrigued with guns and war play, I chose to push the envelope and portray these kids in what they think is innocent fun. I choose my subjects, yet they choose to pick up the weapon and strike the familiar pose. As a mother and nurturer, I want to discuss the direction of our guidance (or lack of) and show the absurdity of the desensitization of children through the “games” they play.
