Linda Rae Russo

     A self-taught artist who has painted since childhood, I draw inspiration from my peaceful mountain lifestyle and the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. My artwork celebrates the region's flora, fauna, and often-overlooked wonders. 
 
    My Natural Elements collection features archival prints of my original artwork, framed with twigs and tree bark.  My newest collection, Leafborne Originals - Portraits of Nature's Quiet Beauty, features delicate paintings on preserved leaves, presented under glass in handmade hardwood frames.  Each piece reflects my lifelong love of art and deep connection to the natural world. 

All of Linda’s various media may be seen in galleries throughout Virginia and North Carolina.
