Linda Burris Webster

Linda Burris Webster is a photographer who is driven by a curiosity about people and how social and political issues impact on daily lives underlines her work. She has a BA in English Literature Austin College in Sherman, Texas, and an MA in Education.

Linda draws inspiration from her travels to more than 50 countries, from years of living abroad, from extensive research. After distilling the lessons of her experiences and research, she uses her photography to explore and raise awareness of dilemmas, conflicts, and injustices that are unfolding in various locations around the world.
Linda learned photography through books, short courses, visiting museums and galleries, studying others’ work and making mistakes. She was introduced to crochet by her grandmother when she was 9. One of her most treasured possessions is a tablecloth crocheted by this grandmother. Her first sculpture, produced in Junior High, was one of the regional winners in San Antonio and was sent to New York to be exhibited there. She has explored various art forms over the years, from quilting to jewellery making. Originally from Texas, she has resided in Brighton, UK for a number of years - but still says y’all!
