Linda Pierson’ is a native of El Centro, California. The world renowned artist is known as “The Colorist Painter”. Pierson’ graduated high school nearly a year and a half early due to college art credits; she attended Imperial Valley College, Santa Barbara and San Diego Universities all with a Painting Major and Philosophy Minor. She has traipsed artfully around the globe on painting expeditions, endlessly bringing fresh ideas to the canvas. The spicy entrepreneurial designer has taught public and private art classes throughout the United States, while living in CA, NY, NJ, BC and Georgia and has created & contracted several painting co-op and building projects. In 1995, she took a 24’ x 117’ building and created a 15 Suite Mini Mall, complete with Multiple Art Studios and Beauty Salons. The unique structure, Pierson’s Downtown Gallery of Shops, is designed with French Doors and Windows throughout and is the home to a variety of Art & Music festivals and many local businesses.
Gino Hollander, painting friend and master of over 13,000 works has described Linda Pierson’ a “Sophisticate Primitive”, because of her spontaneous energy and use of multiple colors to create a trickling ambiance of texture and depths. The visual freedom of her work is often felt through her brush strokes. Her passionate desire to paint is often overwhelming. The mother of two fabulous children practically lives in paint clothes while working on small to humongous canvases and eclectic interior building and décor projects constantly. A writer as well she is working on a book titled “Painted Kisses”. Pierson’s colorful and passionate work often deals with Humanitarian issues, which she incorporates into Island, rural and city landscaped themes. She is also known for her Celebrity Portraits and Floral motifs. The paintings are displayed at Galleries, Boutiques’ and Art Showings, and sold at private and public locations thought-out the world.
Up-Date: In 2015 The Artistic Soul ventured out and purchased an Inn built in 1899 in Historic Julian; “Pierson’s Painted Porch”. This has been a demanding project and fulfilling at the same time. A working Studio/Gallery compliments the property.
