Linda Lee was born in Schenectady, New York. She moved to California at an early age to study Art, where she met and married a member of the U.S. Navy. She has traveled the United States and Europe extensively, where she has gotten many ideas for her paintings. She and her husband eventually settled in the Pacific Northwest.
Her Southwest Still Lifes and her animal paintings have won her several honors and she currently has an oil painting in the Buffalo Museum in Jamestown, North Dakota.
Linda is a member of the Yakima Valley Artists Association and spends most of her time behind an easel or Plein Air painting with friends.

Nature’s complexity and artistry are what inspire me to create- whether it's the pattern of a pinecone, the twists in a branch, or the imperfections wrought by adversity. I gather many of my art materials close to home- gourds grown in my garden, sagebrush from the shrub-steppe, pine needles for coiling. Combining these natural elements with pigments and encaustic medium results in a unique and varied blending of shape, color, and texture. I enjoy experimenting with gourds, coiled sculptures, and paintings to create works of interest and beauty. I also enjoy having the opportunity to collaborate with other artists in our Yakima community.

I grew up in a working-class neighborhood where there were no artists around as far as I could remember. When the time came, I attended college and traveled. My point of view evolved. Slowly I gave myself permission to make art. I learned black and white photography, fell in love with ceramics, then stitching, knitting, spinning, book-making and mixed media collage.
My aesthetic is earthy grunge with lots of texture, usually evocative and almost always a little odd.

For as long as I can remember, I have spent every moment possible creating something.
I spent hours coloring, then drawing and eventually creating my own comic strips. My interest in photography entered the scene in high school and soon became a beloved creative outlet.
In college, I expanded my interests and explored the world of watercolor, merging my photography with a newfound passion for the remarkable medium.
Following retirement in 2018 from two rewarding careers, in Veterinary Medicine and in Occupational Therapy, I joined the Yakima Valley Art Association to connect with the local art culture.
Now with more time to spare and my camera in hand, I can be found where I am most inspired. My inspiration comes from nature and all things from the natural world.
I look forward to putting more miles on my paint brush and with courage, continue to create.

I was born and raised in Burien, Washington. I had always been interested in photography but really caught the photo bug in 2011 shortly after losing my husband. I needed a distraction and bought my first DSLR camera. I was hooked immediately!
I remarried in 2016. A work opportunity for him brought us to Yakima in 2019, allowing me to retire from my 18 year City of Tukwila job. I'm in love with the very distinct four seasons here and always say that my favorite season is the transition between them. I'm an avid hiker and the landscape makes for some challenging hikes and beautiful photos!
