Linda Madden (Artists) Linda was born in Kamloops and grew up in Clearwater, British Columbia. Linda developed an appreciation of nature at a young age and spent a great deal of time outdoors often hiking and camping in beautiful Wells Gray Park and surrounding areas.
Linda graduated from Clearwater Secondary School and went on to receive a Bachelor of Education at the University of Victoria. She is currently teaching elementary school part-time in Clinton, B.C.
Linda enjoyed drawing while she was growing up as well as teaching elementary school art classes. An unexpected opportunity to work with a local carver of moose antler and soapstone created a whole new realization of possibilities that could be explored in the art world.
In 2002, Linda started carving eagle heads into moose antler which are set in soapstone or hard wood bases such as walnut, or made for wall hangers. She more recently has begun relief wildlife carvings, and working more creatively with soapstone. Linda loves carving and plans on working hard to further explore and expand her talent.
Linda does commission work and also buys antlers. She is currently represented in the Plaza Galleries in Whistler and the Newport Gallery in Squamish.
