About Me
It all started at the age of four. I found my love of drawing and knew that art was and would continue to be my life long passion. I have been creating ever since and am most drawn to replicating still lifes and nature.
I graduated Montclair State University with a Master of Arts degree and am currently a certified NJ State Art Educator. I have been teaching in the public school system since 1999 and I thoroughly enjoy instilling the love and power of art in my students.
Proving to my students that they can express themselves through art is one of my main goals. Art is a vehicle through which all of us can find freedom, creativity and success. As an art educator, I inpart knowledge, concepts and techniques to help them develop as artists.
For myself as an artist and mother of young children, finding the time to follow this passion was often a challenge. Now that my children have reached an age that allows me the luxury to set time aside for my art, I have reclaimed my identity as an artist.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I am enjoying creating it.
Stay tuned for more pieces and videos of the process! Bare with me as I attempt to stay connected with you through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube (@OriginalLinaArt). Art is my strong suit....technology...not so much!
With love and gratitude,
Lina
