Biography
Born into a Christian family in Newark, New Jersey. Growing up, Linda and her parents, traveled back and forth between the U.S. and Lima, Peru, where she spent most of her life until the age of 17. She and her mother and maternal grandmother then moved to Madrid Spain. Five years later, she returned to the states, traveling and living in different states until 1991, when she came to Texas. In 2001, Linda took permanent residence in the Houston area, and now lives in Humble, TX where she bought a house in 2006.
Growing up, Linda's parents made sure she was surrounded by the arts, both the performing and visual arts. She took ballet lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons, and painting lessons. Later on as an adult she took photography lessons. However, her dream had always been to throw pots. From a young age, each time she either encountered ancient pottery or saw someone throwing on the wheel, she would feel an intense attraction to the clay. This dream came true for her in her mid forty's, when she went back to college to finish her education.
Confronted with the choice between continuing her career in Philosophy or responding to her love for clay, she looked to God for direction and has now been working with clay for almost six years.
