Award-winning photographer and graphic designer, Linda Eberle has been creating unique black & white, handtinted and color photographs for over 25 years. Featured in galleries in southern California and the Pacific northwest, her images reflect the natural beauty and architecture of Europe, Africa, baja Mexico and North America. Her work has been published in both national and international travel publications and has earned recognition for creative excellence.
Initially working primarily with black & white images, Linda discovered her passion for handtinting while creating a series of photos from her first trip to Italy and Greece in 1984. The ethereal effect of the translucent oil paints enhanced her black & white images, giving them a mystical sense of timelessness and evoking a quiet beauty from these sites of antiquity.
Her most recent images are a further exploration of blurring the line between photography and painting both through digital manipulation and using mixed media - layering giclée prints with oil pastels. Linda is currently completing a series of black & white and handtinted photos of the historic California Missions.
