ABOUT THE ARTIST

Linda Hayden, highly skilled in the arts, has been sharing her appreciation for beauty for most of her life. She is an experienced painter, floral designer, gardener, decorator, color consultant and author of "Acts of Beauty," the creator of the "Angels Deliver" newsletter and the "Seasonal Angel" gift club.

She resides in Pasadena, better known as "The City of Roses." She has been developing her artistic talents since childhood, much on her own inspiration. However, while studying at Pasadena City College she was honored with an Artistic Achievement Award from the Art Department.

Linda creates from an airy studio in her home, seated near large windows providing a spacious view of Southern California skys, a colorful garden, nearby mountains, and a feel of the seasons as they appear. The encounter with each season is conducive to a creative flow for Linda, who believes the angels are at play in her garden and in the air throughout the year, enthusiastically celebrating the gifts of each season along with her.
