Linden has a background in miniature model making where she first painted scenic backdrops to enhance the models. Today she is a watercolour painter, captivated by the curve that is almost a straight line and the play of colour as paint blends on paper.

She studied and took classes with local artists for several years, and under their auspices took up the challenge of watercolour. Inspiration comes from things she sees around her and she plans to incorporate more figures into the stories she paints. Her peony series is set aside until new inspiration comes with spring and she has returned to her first love of landscape.
