Linda Crocco Artist Statement

I like to surround myself with color and images of the outdoors. My art reflects the part of me that whispers “Let’s go out and play”.
Linda Crocco is a self-taught mixed media artist in Northern Massachusetts. She enjoys working with all mediums including gel printing, eco prints, handmade paper, watercolor, oil and acrylics. She is currently a member of the Nashoba Valley Artist Guild. In June of 2022 one of her paintings was
chosen for the cover of the first online issue of Spoonie Journal magazine. She created and taught a number of online tutorials as a member the Alcohol Ink Art Society. She has gifted a small artwork for the last several years to the Brush Art Gallery for their yearly Four by Four for Education raffle.
