LINDA S SHERMAN has been painting since kindergarten where she did the backside of a bunny rabbit with a cotton tail. On the advice of the kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Slattery gave Linda art lessons starting in third grade continuing and through high school. Linda attended college at Carnegie Mellon University where she earned a BFA in graphic design.
Linda began her design career in 1970, starting her own business in 1977. Recently she semi-retired to pursue her interest in painting.
