Linda works in her lianco studio bringing passion to her unique creations. She expresses gratitude and wonder that she is able to pursue this passion for making jewelry on a full time basis. Her excitement about her work and the continuing flood of ideas she attributes in part to PMC. She says "PMC is synonymous with endless possibilities. It is the most exciting thing that has happened to metal in my lifetime. PMC is awesome".
Though Linda works primarily in Silver, her love of beads and beadwork is evident in the pieces she creates.
When speaking of the gift of creativity, Linda says " I have always felt that I am merely a conduit for ideas flowing from a source outside of myself. I find great joy in the process of making jewelry and hope to pass along some measure of joy to those who wear the pieces I produce"
