Hello! My name is Linda Perkins. I was born and raised in northwest Louisiana and loved raising my family here as well. After spending many years teaching young children with special needs (and a lifetime exploring creative arts) I began painting and creating digital art and have fallen in love with the art of surface design.
I love being outdoors, surrounded by flowers, insects and birds and I hope that I can pass on that love of nature to you through my designs.

Now, it’s time to share them with others as well.
