LINDA MELVIN is an amazingly talented and accomplished watercolorist, oil painter, and mixed-media artist. Art is a very large part of her life, and she enjoys the new challenges that painting and mixed media affords. Her paintings have a broad range from realism to nonobjective art. The burning desire to create is one that will never be extinguished in her heart. In her view, every creation is seen with a different emotion in the eye of the observer. She believes that desire makes it possible to accomplish even the greatest task.

Linda is also a jewelry designer. She works mainly with sterling silver and gold-filled objects and often includes fantastic gems, pearls, and crystals in her pieces. Her unique design of woven bird nest earrings and pendants, complete with pearl eggs, radiate a joyous delight of nature.

Linda has taught art classes for over 30 years and has given demonstrations for various organizations and at the Del Mar Fair. Linda is a member of the San Diego Watercolor Society, San Dieguito Art Guild and the Del Mar Art Center Gallery.
