Linda Griffin is originally from Delaware and has lived in Florida since 1996. Growing up in the Northeast she spent a lot of time outdoors digging in the dirt and catching frogs. Her love of nature appears as a central theme throughout all of her artwork. Studying Fine Arts at the University of Delaware, she spent a lot of time sculpting and developing film. It wasn’t until about twenty-five years ago that she tried watercolors for the first time. She has been commissioned to paint portraits of people and houses throughout the United States. She has been teaching art for over 25 years. She is an art teacher for Pinellas County Schools as well as a Watercolor Instructor for adults at the Morean Arts Center in Saint Petersburg.  She is a Member of the PAEA, FAEA, FWS, and NWS.

Linda continues to draw inspiration from the natural world around her within her watercolor compositions, and has also recently expanded into the medium of inks, still drawing from nature, but in a more graphic and simplified style. She is also currently exploring painting on a variety of surfaces such as tree bark, and creates overlays of natural fibers. Linda has also begun to explore pastels as well.
