Sattler Artisans' Alley - Bible Study led by Garry Allen

A native of Floresville, Texas, Linda's background included owning a ceramic, arts-and-crafts business and teaching art in the public school system in Floresville; teaching communications and journalism at Incarnate Word college and Texas Lutheran University; working as a copy editor at the San Antonio Light; serving as managing editor at the Canyon Lakes Times Guardian and freelancing as a marketing consultant, writer and graphic designer.

You may know Linda as the former managing editor of the Canyon Lake Times Guardian. In October 2003 she left that position to pursue her love of art and teaching art, as well as fulfilling her desire to be ---one again---- self-employed.

In April of 2004, Linda opened Casa de Linda Art Studio located above the New Braunfels Art League Gallery in historic downtown New Braunfels and began to focus on painting and teaching. Today her Casa de Linda Art Gallery is open by appointment and her work is available online at www.casadelinda.com.

Currently, Linda works mostly in acrylics. She paints both traditional work, such as her series commemorating the flood at Canyon Lake in 2002 that created the gorge, and in a unique style as is seen in her series of contemporary wildflowers. Her wildflower paintings, which are frequently exhibited at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and area galleries, are also being licensed and will soon be featured on a line of greeting cards in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.

"People say my work is "happy'. That's so wonderful! I find great pleasure in knowing that my paintings make people feel good," she says.

When Linda is not painting and teaching, she still finds time to freelance as marketing/PR consultant and writer. Linda lives north of Canyon Lake near Fischer with her partner and best friend, David

Linda is better known for her fantasy perspective of Texas wildflowers which is currently on display at the Lady Bird Johnson Center. We are so excited to house her collection, "Capturing Canyon Lake". This includes pieces that depict the flood of 2002 and the resulting Gorge as well as spring landscapes and more.

Husband, David Jacobson, displays the eye of a romantic as he has captured Canyon Lake's iconic features of the lake, windmills, marina, and old schoolhouse in his photography.
