Instructor -- Linda Pullinsi
Arizona artist, Linda Pullinsi, has received numerous awards in watercolor and portrait competitions. Her work is collected throughout the United States. An encouraging teacher, she is a popular instructor of both children and adults. "I've always found beauty everywhere and have been compelled to try and capture it. I am particularly drawn to people and the subtle expressions of emotion found in their faces and body language, which is why I'm mostly known for my figurative work. I have a real love for all people and enjoy trying to capture their true spirit. I feel so blessed to be an artist and enjoy teaching others to express themselves creatively. Although I have a long journey ahead of me, knowing I'm on the right path makes each step wondrous." Her volunteer work with Free Arts of Arizona, sharing creative expression with abused & neglected children for the past twelve years, has really helped Ms. Pullinsi witness the healing power of art. Pullinsi is a juried member of the Arizona Watercolor Association and has served on their board. She's also a member of The American Society of Portrait Artists, Arizona Artists Guild, SACAMA and Artlink.
