Linda Anderson received her MFA in 1978 (Printmaking/Design) from Brigham Young University. Her career was two fold, training as a Book Conservator and bookbinder, working in that field in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, then going back to school in Texas to get an education degree, after which she worked as an art specialist in AISD for nearly twenty years. Linda now is a retired art teacher and educator, but continues to lead book-arts classes for children and adults at the Austin Book Arts Center. Her art and book art has been exhibited in Texas and Utah.
