Linda began a lifelong relationship with watercolor painting at the age of eight. Her late mother was Margaret Bedell, a well-known painter on Maui.
Linda Whittemore grew up in Laguna Beach, California where she extensively pursued art studies until she moved to Hawai’i and earned a BA in Liberal Arts at University of Hawai’i.
Linda has worked in many printmaking techniques, including traditional intaglio. The viscosity monotype is her current fascination and her original monotypes are printed in oil-based paint and sometimes include mixed media with pastel and acrylic. Linda’s background as a painter is apparent in her monotypes of abstract landscapes. Each piece is different; an original artwork. “It is all a process, one medium leads to the next. We create from what we know or don’t know. My paintings are who I am.”
