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 in Influence Music Hall in Hillsboro and at Summa Real Estate in Forest Grove she continues to do demonstrations. Annually she participates in Fine Art Week by painting for the students at Glencoe High School.
