Linda Mary Ashdown
Artist, Illustrator and writer. Work self employed for over 40 years, mainly for the greeting cards industry, like Woodmansterne Publications and J Arthur Dixon and other commercial enterprises.
Have worked and taught in my favourite medium, watercolour for many years. Love illustrating for children, especially when animals and nature are involved. I also enjoy working in pastel, especially when working on larger commissions, such as biblical illustration or larger animal portraiture.
I enjoy working in Pencil, Pen and Ink, Watercolour and Soft Pastel. These mediums allow me to express my love of detail, especially in Portraiture/ Animal portraiture and when illustrating nature. The flora and fauna of the natural world around me are my delight.
