Linda Monk
Artist's Biography
I was born in 1961 and grew up in the North West of England.
After completing a 2 year Art Foundation Course I went onto university in the Midlands where I gained an Honours Degree in Fine Art.
In 1981 I won a prize for Young Artists awarded by ATV Television Station. I had a studio in Chester for many years and exhibited in galleries in the Midlands and North of England and more recently in Germany.
I have been living in Germany since 2002 and currently use my home in Berlin as my studio. My earliest memory of wanting to be an artist was around 10 years old. My family were always very supportive and have encouraged me to keep painting. I had a great uncle who was a successful commercial artist and I regret that I was never taken to meet him when I was a child. I was told that he was a little odd but I think most artists are a little odd!
I believe my artistic roots stem from this blood link on my maternal side. However I get the gift of chatting from my father's side and this has helped me in the past when guesting as a speaker at local art societies.
