"Linda's ceramic art has been a part of my daily life for more than twenty years. A couple of years ago my favorite salad bowl started to have a funny sound and the one day, it simply expired. I was bereft. It was so much a part of every meal I had prepared that I simply didn't want to put salad in anything else. I'm surviving, but just barely. What carries me on is all of the other wonderful work I have collected- a huge platter that smiles from the wall- it has mountains all around, the fabulous black and white pot that rests in a place of honor in my living room. The shape and the carving on the ornamental pot captures my eye every day. When I entertain, there are always four or five Linda bowls and presentation Linda platters that embellish my simple food. Linda is, plainly said, first, a wonderful thoughtful caring person and then the best and most complete artist I know. Thanks so much for sharing your genius."

"Watching Linda and the growth of her work in recent years has been a privilege and a delight. Her work always brings me a sense of quality, beauty and peace.
Watching her work in the studio is a rewarding experience in itself. She gets into the zone of creativity that is like a meditation. You will want her pieces around you to sustain that quality in your life. I have several of her pieces that span the last ten years. I love them all. " Suzanne Franzen Kalaheo, HI |
"I love all of what Linda does, from her creations to the way she works with people in her workshops. My kids loved her classes and we all walked away with our own treasured pieces that we proudly display in our home."

My wife and I have been collecting and enjoying Linda's work for more decades than Linda would like to admit! They are all very special to us. Some are used on a daily basis, some adorn walls, others are on stands or table tops. As I sit at my computer writing in my office, there is an enormous, beautiful plate to my left. Her work is timeless, timely and moving.

In each of her magnificent pieces of art, Linda captures the very essence of the Old West; its history, its culture, and its glorious scenery. I know, as I am lucky enough enough to own one of her grand pieces and every time I look at it I am taken back to that beautiful countryside that I left so long ago...

Rose and I have followed Linda's work for a number of years and own several major pieces, some of which we use everyday and some of which we have hanging on the wall just to admire. Linda combines a thorough understanding of her materials, a mastery of traditional and contemporary clay and porcelain technique and an unfailing sense of color, texture and design to produce timelessly beautiful and useful objects.
