- Linda Martin
was born (Linda Croucher) in Sydney, Australia,
- where she began to seriously
study art at the age of 14, under
- the guidance of Raymon de
Cusack. These early years proved
- to be a solid foundation for
her later successes in both
- illustration and fine arts.
From 1985 to 1995, Linda taught
- art and exhibited her
paintings throughout the central west
- of New South Wales. Then,
seeking a more temperate climate,
- she moved northward and soon
found new inspiration in the
- natural beauty of the
mid-north coast.
