ABOUT ARTIST

Picture
Linda Tong was born in Thailand where the techniques of lacquerware were passed down in her family for many generations.  She was taught how to cut and roll a piece of cellophane paper into a pastry tube which is filled with oil paint and then squeezed like a cake decorating tool. As her interest in painting grew, Linda took special clases in oil painting which used painting knives and brushes.  She mixed her newly acquired techniques with those passed down from her family.  She has been using this unique style of painting since she was very young to create her own lacquerware designs.
