Linda DeRosa

I was born and raised in New York, and recently a resident of Florida. As a child my father, who was a creative person, influenced my interest in art. I learned through a mixture of formal education and self teaching. My work has been shown from Queens to Long Island, and now Florida. I have won numerous awards from National Art League, Douglaston, N.Y.,Floral Park Art League, Port Washington Art League. One of my purchased works was autographed by Derek Jeter, 2 others became book covers. Presently I am a member of NAL, Ocala Art Group,  MCA, Florida WCS and Citrus Watercolor Society. I also had an opportunity to study under famous Watercolor Artist, Alvaro Castagnet for a week in Upstate New York. Present day favorites are Alvaro Castagnet, Joseph Zbukvic and Mary Whyte.

My Art is Inspired by my interest in our past history. This was taken from the movie "Underground Railroad." I was drawn to her facial expressions and the lighting as she waited in the doorway of an Underground Railroad stop.
