| Linda Burkett ~ LucyV Designs Linda was born in Rhode Island, but as a daughter of a Navy man, she traveled around the U. S. as a child. The family eventually settled in San Diego where her father still resides. She came to Austin over 20 years ago, and Austin is now home for Linda and her son! Linda began beading about 10 years ago. A friends' beading hobby captured her attention and inspired her to create her own quality beaded jewelry. She is a completely self-taught beading artist and continues to expand her talents using books and magazines for inspiration and infusing her curiosity and problem solving skills to her work. Linda credits her artistic ability to her mother who was a prodigious painter. (Linda's company is named after her mother.) Linda's love of color and intrinsic ability to combine unique textures is reflected in the exquisite jewelry she designs. Linda is also one of our talented teachers at Lapis Lane! |
