Linda Nelson- Bova's statement reads as follows:

 

While I was teaching and raising a family, I had very little time to make art other than when I needed something for a gift. Now that I am retired, I am enjoying exploring printmaking and being able to paint. I really enjoy doing all kinds of art—I like to create handmade ornaments that I sell at craft shows which are essentially little pieces of art. I especially like to work with mixed media—you will often find metal, threads and a variety of other materials in my paintings. My relief prints can contain collaged materials, watercolor and other media.
