After a successful career in publishing and graphic arts, Linda Holland immersed herself in the arts. Joining art groups, becoming involved in local art and culture discussions she eventually found her home by organizing an artists' group and running Influence Gallery in Hillsboro, Oregon. Watercolor is her medium of choice and she paints as often as she can while working around the business end of running a gallery and the non-profit business of Tualatin Valley Artists, the corporation that runs the gallery. Pouring her heart and soul into the "vision" she witnesses as art touches people's lives and changes them.... it has become a mission she works at daily. |
