linda andersonLinda is a verbal and visual storyteller. She is a mixed media artist who specializes in content development, abstract art, and multimedia.
Linda was raised in a library and early on, discovered the formula for storytelling. Her educational and professional career led to entertainment television, news, and children’s media, where she worked as a writer, producer, camera, editor, and crew. Linda has worked with teams from the stages of New York Fashion Week to the track at the Las Vegas Speedway. She has profiled world class events such as the Red Bull Air Race, told success stories of million dollar corporations, highlighted worker’s rights issues for labor unions, and developed educational videos taking kids on animal learning adventures. She applies her talents with exhibit design teams to develop content for honored U.S. museums.
As a painter, Linda displays colorful abstract precision. Her Guardian series alternates complimenting colors as background for freehand pattern. Others glimpse an artist who develops ideas, compiling a portfolio that hosts a few gems.
As a storyteller, Linda authors scripts that educate and entertain. Snow Birds is an animated feature about a flight of migrational birds who take off on a journey to discover a balance between humans and nature that honors the interests of all. Paco’s Place & When Romance Got Deported entertain and educate about important ideas in cultural integration.
No matter the media, ideas are in endless development.
