About the Artist:

Artist Linda L Martin has been a resident of Fauquier County since 1996. Previous to that she lived and worked in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia painting horses and wildlife in a folk realism style.

   Since graduation from Stetson University in 1978, Linda has  been an advocate of artists using alternative venues whenever possible to put their work before the public. It has been a more direct and populist notation over the years to take art directly to the people where they are.

Using alternative venues has also placed Linda's work before more than a million people from 1993 to 2003 when one of her paintings was purchased by the Nerangis Corporation to be exhibited with other regional artists in a McDonald's Just east of Winchester, Virginia.  The venue was located on a huge tourist corridor with a lot of historical significance.  At the time the local community made it mandatory that local artists and crafts people must be included in the décor as a stipulation for the restaurant to be built.

Linda has been represented from time to time by galleries but finds she enjoys more direct contact with people.  Her most recent connections to Fauquier locations has been through Fox Den Antiques in Warrenton until 2008.  The Studio Frame Shop in Warrenton to present.
