Hello, I'm Linda Lineman and welcome to my website. I married
Carl Lineman in 1971. He is my strongest ally, critic, and
supporter. It is with his help and encouragement that I am
able to continue with "my obsession" of painting. We have two
children, Carl Jr. and Tammy. They are all very talented in
their own field of choice. We live in a small town along the
Allegheny River in Western PA. It is in these surroundings
that I get much of my inspiration to paint. I love to go out
with my camera to capture God's beautiful handiwork and then strive
to apply it to the porcelain. I am a self taught painter. By that I mean that I have no formal art education, however I continue my education by attending porcelain art schools and seminars as often as possible. I started with acrylics, and next found myself painting on slate, wood, saws, tin, and even a canvas or two. Then, in 1980, I took a 6 week china painting class from Yvonne Klapec that started my enthusiastic appreciation and love of this style of painting. I have studied with artists that are the top of the Porcelain media like: San Do, Andrew Orr, Sharon Snook, Stephen Hayes, Sylvia Wilson, Dan Wolfe, Jean Helm, Lolita de Smith, Carlos Spina and Adele Holt, to name a few. |

You can contact me directly for information and commission work. Art work has been mailed throughout the US, across to Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. My goal is to share the excitement and enchantment of this ancient fine art. I encourage students to try it so that they too can enjoy the beauty of this fine art. We should never worry about being the "best" - the more we do it, the better we become. You can always grow and learn more. What we paint today will be tomorrow's heirlooms & antiques. |
