: About Me

Hello, my name is Lynda and I'm an artist and writer here in Taos, NM. My poems have been published and I wrote a story that will be published in June, 2007.
I'm a native from California. I moved to Taos in 2000 after leaving Social Services where I was employed for ten years.
I love to paint and write. I'm also a photographer. I take photos of Landscapes and Historical sites here in Taos and surrounding areas. I make photo cards and sell them for five dollars each. It's a lot of fun making these cards.
I went to Fashion Design School in San Francisco, but then decided I would concentrate on my art instead. Well enough about me. Picture will come later.
