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.
