CAA’s Artist of the Month: Linda Barboni
Artist Statement: My love of drawing and creating have always been an integral part of my life. The spontaneity of wet-in-wet watercolor and vibrancy of pastels never cease to thrill me. Teaching watercolor for the past 22 years and mentoring a high school student every winter has given me the opportunity to share my passion and learn from others in return. Though I currently am an active member of five art organizations, being co-chair of the Demonstration Committee of CAA has allowed me to be exposed to and enjoy the diverse body of talented creators of art!
