I am a semi-retired welder fabricator in pursuit of a lifelong passion for art and history (among many others).
Art (drawing , sculpture and mixed media) and music (acoustic and electric guitar, writing and recording my own songs) are my main strengths. I have practiced making art out of whatever I have found available, wherever I have lived and worked all of my life.
These days my focus is on bringing my weld/fab and growing computer skills together in the process of creating welded metal sculpture. In the meantime I am becoming more involved with the art community and associations in Phoenix, Arizona.

About Linda Mullen.
An award-winning watercolorist, Linda Mullen began her creative career painting in transparent watercolor more than twenty years ago. Her education came rimarily through personal experimentation with the aid of books, workshops and personal conversations with successful artists.
Linda's artwork is awarded in gallery exhibition like the San Diego Watercolor Society with many of her more detailed depictions of glass and crystal coveted by an expanding collector base.
This extensive exploration in watercolor led Linda into painting with watermedia on silk. Today she enjoys painting vibrant florals and still lifes in both mediums that find their way into collections throughout the United States. Kaiser Permanent has ten in their permanent collection.
A popular watercolor instructor, the artist offers private and semi-private lessons to painters at all skill levels, including beginners.
