BIOGRAPHY Linda Koast is a self-taught artist on the rise. Linda is the first artist officially licensed to create an
original painting of the three firemen raising the United States Flag at the
World Trade Center disaster site at Ground Zero. Her "life-like" paintings and exceptional talent have become top
choice to
collectors from around the world who are seeking her "true to detail"
TV Legends, & portraits. Linda's uncanny ability to capture the essence of
actors such as Lucille Ball & company from the "I Love Lucy" Show have earned
her critical acclaim. Inspired by Norman Rockwell, Linda has a unique ultra-realism style that
captures the personality and visual impression of her subjects. This talent
awarded her commissions for portraits, as well as the permission from Desilu
too, LLC. and CBS Worldwide, Inc. to create limited editions of "I Love
Lucy." Linda is currently working on additional collections inspired by classic
television shows and full length feature films. Linda is a generous artist who donates her time and talent to many charitable
causes. This past September, Linda has lent her talent to a silent auction as part of
The Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation’s "Grand Slam for Children" benefit in
Las Vegas. Many artists prefer seclusion while creating a work of art. Linda,
however, much to the delight of collectors, thrives on painting before a live
audience. |
