Spending her childhood exploring country auctions, yard sales and antique shops with her mother and grandmother, Wisconsin native Linda Weber Queally developed a passion and appreciation for art, architecture and antiques.   She graduated from UW, Milwaukee with a Bachelors Degree in Urban Development, but all the while felt the inspiration to express the beauty she found in her surroundings.

 

While working in the business world of Los Angeles, Linda studied at the prestigious Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design. Her artistic life blossomed as she discovered the joy of color, and her love for painting.  As her painting skills grew, she also developed a keen eye for photography. Now after 26 years in the Los Angeles area, she works in several media, moving freely between painting, photography, and collage. Showing her work nationally, the artist has won numerous awards.

 

Artist Statement:  I love to travel, and I am an avid painter and photographer.  When traveling, I prefer to be on the move, photographing everything that speaks to me. Later in the studio, I bring my vision to life.  While I frequently joke that I prefer to “live in a bubble wearing rose colored glasses”, I think there is a lot of truth in that.  I seek out the positive in life, and strive to express the beauty, joy and humor that I find in the everyday.
