Linda Weir was born in Manchester and studied at Manchester Metropolitan University, attaining a foundation in Visual Studies, a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and a PGCE in Art. She went on to receive an MA in Fine Art from Nottingham Trent University. Linda held many teaching positions between 1983 and 2003 including at the University of Nottingham and Manchester Metropolitan University. She was a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Art and a founder member of the Manchester Artists Studio Association. Linda won a place at Falmouth School of Art in the 1980s but was unable to take it up. Twenty five years later, she finally arrived in West Cornwall and now lives and paints in St Ives where she produces impasto oils, all ‘en plein air’. She describes being in Cornwall as a “constant thrill” and finds it an “intensely inspiring place”. Linda has exhibited extensively in one-woman and mixed shows across the UK, most recently and notably at the 2006 Royal Academy Summer Show.
