Linda Regula is an artist, author, teacher, and community advocate. She’s also my hero. I started taking art lessons from her when I was three years old, and she has been a guiding light in my life ever since. Linda overcame tremendous challenges to lead the inspiring, creative life she does today. Extreme poverty, abandonment, and abuse marked her childhood in the Appalachian Mountains, and a near fatal injury in her thirties actually paved the way for her to discover her true passion. I was excited when she came to visit us in Monterey, California and agreed to share her paintings and life story in an artist talk called Reaching For The Light at Open Ground Studios on October 19, 2017. This is the video of her inspirational presentation. I hope you are as uplifted and motivated by the strength of this trailblazing lady as I am. I believe her story is one that everyone should hear.  

I was very lucky growing up to have an amazing art teacher, mentor, and friend. Linda Regula started teaching me private painting lessons before my fourth birthday. In this video, we reminisce about some of our favorite stories from those early years. Also learn more about Linda's inspiring story, and the traumatic experiences she had to overcome in order to create her own path as an artist.
