Linda Laino

I have been making art in one form or another for over 40 years. As a visual artist and also a writer, I love playing with words as well as color and form. Since 2012, I have lived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico where the surreal atmosphere and sensuous colors have worked their way into my paintings. The last few years have found me making art in different parts of the world, most recently at art residencies in Spain and France.
