About the Artist

Linda Belmont, the artist, describes herself as follows:

I am an artist that writes and illustrates children's books, still trying to get published. I draw and paint just about anything that will stand still. I work in many different media and have pieces in a few galleries and homes from Florida to Michigan.

I sew costumes, make jewelry, sew wedding dresses for full-figured women, and create floral arrangements. I am learning to tattoo, and I am owned by a teenager, several dogs, birds and cats.

I grew up in a small town in Central Florida on a horse farm. I currently reside in Dothan, Alabama. I started dancing about 6 years ago to try to lose weight and find something to carefully tone up a medical condition in my back. While I still have two left feet, I do enjoy dancing and the peace and joy it has brought me.
