Linda Charles was born in 1969 in the Southeast of England. After attending Herriot Watt University in Scotland where she studied textiles and fashion launched a full time career as a professional artist in the late 90's. This background in textile and fashion has been evident throughout her work which is heavily textured and makes use of many forms of mixed media including gold and silver leaf. Living in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, Linda enjoys drawing on these beautiful surroundings for inspiration whilst walking her beloved Golden Retriever, Douglas. With a career spanning over 25 years Linda continues to use her vast experience and enjoys exploring new techniques and mediums to produce striking collections. In the early 2000's Linda became one of the most prolific abstract artists throughout the UK. At the advent of the interior design boom, Linda’s use of structure, texture, bold colours and gold and silver leaf propelled her into mainstream contemporary art. Her original pieces became collectable and still feature in many galleries and private collections all over the world. Over the following years Linda’s diversity as an artist allowed her to develop and hone her techniques experimenting with textures, design, glassware and digital media. Through these phases new collections were born which really showcased the talent and variation throughout her artwork. Following many shows, exhibitions, appearances and more recently an induction into the permanent collection of the Artemizia Foundation in Arizona Linda continues to push boundaries and search out new niches within contemporary art. Having always a close eye on fashion Linda drew together elements of far eastern cultures and passion for the tranquillity, serenity and vivid colours and embellishment of the Japanese geisha and Indian bridal to produce her stunning fashion couture collections. More recently her latest sell out Pulp re-imagined collections combine her love of the imagery of the pulp paperback books of the 40's, 50's and 60's with a back catalogue of famous hits, artists, and lyrics.
