Linda G. Fisher is a widely collected environmental visionary artist with paintings around the world. Linda's greeting cards have been purchased by the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., The National Zoo in Washington, D.C., and also purchased by chain stores such as Macy's, Natural Wonders, Fred Meyers, and retailers across the nation.

She was born in the Midwestern United States but spent much of her childhood living and traveling in other parts of the country. An adventurous, journalist father and an artist mother afforded Linda, her older sister, and younger brother, an opportunity to visit and live in more places in their tender years than most people might see in a lifetime. Linda's artistic talent emerged in those early years as she documented her life's experiences on paper.

She went on to gain a formal art education but then rejected that training to pursue her own individuality and personal expression. In that search she was drawn to folk art and primitive art from other cultures, children's art, and the works of self-taught artists. Much like Picasso, Dubuffet, and Henri Rousseau, she found that those works were unpretentious and sincere. She now tries to capture that same honesty and creative innocence in her own personal expression as an artist.

Many of Linda's paintings are filled with unique patterns, reminiscent of ethnic beadwork and designs, flowers and foliage, and nature's colorful palette. She paints primarily with acrylics on strikingly large canvases, using bold, rich colors. Yet her paintings magically convey soft and compassionate messages. It is this exciting contrast that has established her unique identity as an artist, giving her international fame and recognition.

Linda's passion for the arts is matched only by her love for birds and animals, inspiring her to paint exciting images and ideas that are central to her vision; the true spirit of animals and man's concern about their future. She lives by her Native American Ojibway heritage. "There is an interconnectedness with all life on earth. We must respect and cherish that spirit in all things."

Adding to her list of accomplishments, Linda is also a published writer. She has written many articles regarding animal welfare, written children's stories, and is presently writing and illustrating a book about the spirit of animals. In 1986 Linda co-founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating school children about the humane treatment of animals and the importance of respecting wildlife habitat. In 1988 Linda founded her own nonprofit organization to promote the humane treatment of exotic birds. Linda began painting her endangered species series in 1998. A percentage of her profits are donated to animal welfare, wildlife, and environmental organizations.
