  • Linda Bench

Linda likes to draw inspiring natural scenes—coastal panoramas, oak covered hillsides, flowers and wildlife. While she’s always enjoyed drawing and art, she learned to draw well while studying landscape architecture in college. In 1998, she began focusing her artistic efforts on colored pencil drawing, and has slowly built up her portfolio.

Each picture takes about 20 to 25 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the background. She starts with a line drawing, slowly building up multiple layers of color to achieve the depth and intensity she’s looking for. Linda lives with her family in the mountains between Morro Bay and Atascadero.

Amalia Thomas Featured Craft Artist "I love doing Amalia Thomas

"I love doing wire wrapping. As a young adult, I drew, painted using water colors, and did some pottery work.  While working and raising a family, sewing and gardening were easier hobbies to follow. Our family has made our home on the Central Coast for the past 29 years and we love living here. I have always loved beach rocks, shells, semi-precious stones and minerals and, found that wire wrapping gave me a way to incorporate these into beautiful art. I use only 99.9% cooper wire or sterling silver, both of which are nickel free.  Most of my wire wrap work enhances and keeps the focus on the semi-precious stone, shell, artisan or beach glass that is the center of the piece.  I like my pieces to be beautiful to look at and beautiful to wear, with a style that is casual and one of a kind."
