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 organized an artists' non-profit corporation and ran Influence Gallery in Hillsboro, Oregon.

    After three and one-half years she passed the baton to the next visonary and went on to her next adventure. 

    Now she helps artists get their artwork out to be seen by the people most interested and musicians get gigs when she hears about someone that wants entertainment. In essence, she makes connections.

  Continuing her own artwork (watercolor) still, which can be seen currently at Rockaway Beach in the Summa Real Estate Office and weekly at Tuesday Marketplace in Hillsboro. Also, on July 21 at Shute Park Band Concert she will be painting during the band concert.
