About Linda’s Workshops and Talks

Linda engages her audience by involving them in the conversation about the world of illustration and the creative process. Participants are encouraged to explore their own creative voice and are supported through a nonjudgemental process. Topics for talks and workshops range from creativity to more practical workshops like developing sketchbooks, or themed art/ book illustration workshops for classes and children’s groups.
