MARCH 2022 GUEST ARTIST
LINDA THORSON
CAST CONCRETE SCULPTURE
Linda decided at age five to be an artist, but it took about half a lifetime for that to become a reality. In the meantime, she enjoyed growing up in Lewiston, Idaho- the oldest of four siblings- when her family moved there from San Francisco in the sixties. After graduating from Whitman College in 1982 with a degree in history and art history she set out to experience the world. The next five years were spent traveling and working in Europe, Asia and Africa (with trips home to earn money and re-connect!). Always in love with Seattle, the move here came next, with marriage, a degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Washington, the birth of a wonderful child, and work in landscape design.
In 2005 Linda revived the art casting business on her own that was started in the early nineties with her former husband. With a long-time love of the decorative arts, she gains inspiration from various periods of art history, places she has traveled, and nature, creating objects to grace the home and garden.
When she’s not slinging concrete, Linda enjoys gardening, hiking, music, reading, deep-sea fishing, travel, volunteering, and time with friends and family.
