LINDA MASSEY • WAOW Associate • WI • www.lindamasseyfineartist.com It’s been said Linda Massey’s art is of the moment, capturing the drama–and the energy – of the people and animals she paints. Working in oil paint from large scale to the intimate, many of her commissions are life-size or larger; creating bold work that commands the space around it. Linda meticulously plans the composition of her subject matter as part of the underlying story the painting tells, bringing the viewer into the unique energy of the moment.

SUSAN H. MATTESON • WAOW Signature • CO • www.susanmatteson.com Susan pursued a Fine Arts major at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and received degrees in both fine art, (drawing and painting), and graphic design. She spent more than 15 years of her career in design and illustration, but her true dream was to produce her own work. In 2010 she decided to leave the design field to dedicate herself solely to fine art painting.
