LINDA MEARS

 

 
A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
 

 

 
 

         

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Born in Southern California, Mears was raised in a semi-rural setting, with farms, ranches, beaches and
 
mountains nearby.  Summers were spent traveling and experiencing the sights and activities of the United

 

States.  At a very early age these experiences sparked her interest in representing artistically what she saw.

 

 

 

Mears' family roots and her travels in Europe have influenced her work.  In keeping with her Dutch heritage,

 

Mears has spent a lifetime engaged in creative activities such as sewing, doll making, woodwork, painting,

 

clay sculpture, jewelry design, guitar, piano and even poetry.
