Linda Smith is a native California artist who currently lives in El Dorado Hills. She recently retired from Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, after 27 years as a RN, to realize her desire of becoming an accomplished artist. Linda is constantly evolving with her work, absorbing all the knowledge she can from books, magazines and fellow artists. Through nature's vivid colors and beauty, Linda is inspired to express her passion and interest on canvas. Her artistic focus and interests are western scenes, landscapes, people and animal portraitures in the classic method. Every day is a new adventure in her life and in her art.

As Linda says, "Art has been with me since early childhood, but it is only now that I have lived that I realize that being a great artist means being able to see the work through my once childish eyes again."
