Linda Hoover is a woman with a passion for Art and a love of people. Through portraiture, this self-described "people watcher" has found a perfect creative outlet for her artistic talent, but she doesn't stop there. A delight in the watercolor medium inherited from her mother frequently leads her to produce work that is often lighthearted, emphasizes the transparent brilliance of the medium, and her own appreciation of color harmonies, and usually, joyous themes. Caricature, a quick and lighthearted approach to portraiture and murals are more recent developments in her art career and samples can be viewed here in this website.
Linda earned a Master's Degree from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, in 2003 after graduating cum laude from Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Missouri, in 1997 with a BS in Art Education. Her Master's Degree is in Education with an emphasis in Art. She is certified to teach K-12 and currently teaches art and gifted education at Northwest Elementary four days a week, reserving Thursdays to spend in her studio or at whatever location her murals, caricatures or portraits may lead her. Linda regularly teaches workshops and short courses of art lessons on a variety of topics to adults, having just finished a six week drawing course, offered weekly in the evenings through the Warrensburg Community Center. She will be offering another six week evening drawing course through State Fair Community College, Sedalia, this fall, beginning on Wednesday evening, August 29 at 6:00 p.m. This course will meet weekly for two hours and emphasize portraiture.
Linda has been commissioned for numerous portraits, other paintings, drawings and murals. Her art is juried into shows regularly.
