"I've always found beauty everywhere and have been compelled to try and capture it. I am particularly drawn to people and the subtle expressions of emotion found in their faces and body language, which is why I'm mostly known for my figurative work. I have a real love for all people and enjoy trying to capture their true spirit. I feel so blessed to be an artist and enjoy teaching others to express themselves creatively. Although I have a long journey ahead of me, knowing I'm on the right path makes each step wondrous."

Arizona artist, Linda Pullinsi, has received numerous awards in watercolor and portrait competitions. Her work is collected throughout the United States. An encouraging teacher, she is a popular instructor of both children and adults. Her volunteer work with Free Arts of Arizona, sharing creative expression with abused & neglected children for the past twelve years, has really helped Ms. Pullinsi witness the healing power of art.

Linda is a juried member of the Arizona Watercolor Association and has served on their board. She's also a member of The American Society of Portrait Artists, Arizona Artists Guild, SACAMA and Artlink.
