THE KEEN EYE OF AN ACCOMPLISHED ARTIST

MASTERPIECES ACHIEVED IN A VARIETY OF MEDIA
Linda English is an accomplished artist who has worked at Scotch College for more than 14 years . During that time , she has assisted boys and staff in the Junior Art Department and , more recently , in the Archives . Linda ’ s keen eye for detail is evident in how she prepares materials , frames artwork , stitches costumes and creates props for drama . Her knowledge of art techniques helps boys improve their skills during classes , and many of us are in awe of her illustrations . In her spare time , Linda uses a variety of media to produce masterpieces . She creates inspiring botanical art , portraits and still life using the methods of lino cut , oil painting , graphite and coloured pencil . She is also known for her expertise in textiles and glass etching designs . It is great to see that Linda will hold her second solo exhibition in West Melbourne next January , at the One Star Lounge and Gallery in Victoria Street , from 18 to 21 January .
