Born and raised in the Eden Valley, Cumbria, Linda Whelpdale developed her knowledge and love of the countryside and wildlife in the company of her father, a Gamekeeper for a large Estate, and her Grandparents, aunts and uncles who where farmers, this gave her the opportunity to study wildlife and their habitats in all seasons at close quarters. The precision with which Linda depicts each animal or bird marks her out as an artist with an easy ability to capture the correct posture of her subject in the most accurate detail. Linda is best known for her paintings of mammals and birds.
