Artist’s Biography
Linda Pickwick is a lifelong artist based in Newton, Connecticut. Her passion for art began early, with a love for drawing that blossomed during her school years. In high school and college, foundational art classes sparked a special interest in portraiture, setting the stage for her creative pursuits.
After graduating and spending several years in the workforce, Linda married and started a family. As her children grew older, she returned to art with renewed enthusiasm. Sharing a love for antiques with her husband, she developed a deep interest in 19th-century decorative arts. Exploring this style, she began experimenting with Theorem painting, primitive folk art, and decorative painting on wood and tin—accessible and inspiring mediums that fueled her creativity.
Linda became an active member of the National Society of Decorative Painting and participated in craft fairs, selling her hand-painted wooden pieces. In 1993, her work received national recognition when she won first place in a painting competition hosted by Decorative Woodcrafts, a Better Homes and Gardens publication.
Her artistic journey evolved from acrylics on canvas to the expressive medium of watercolor. Studying under Carol Hubbard, A.W.S., of Monroe, Connecticut, Linda embraced a layered watercolor technique that lends depth and vibrancy to her work. She has since exhibited in local art shows, earning multiple awards for her paintings.
In addition to her studio work, Linda has also shared her talents through faux painting, including murals and trompe l’oeil, transforming private homes with her artistic touch.
Today, she continues to paint in both acrylic and watercolor, always eager to begin her next creative endeavor.
