ALL ABOUT LINDA CHIDO

Art is good for you. Living with it, making it, teaching it, reading it. It works like a vitamin, keeping the mind, the spirit, and the imagination strong. Linda Chido calls it art health. And that belief is at the center of everything she does.

​

She is a painter, educator, author, architect, and mother of four. Not one of these things at a time, all of them at once, all feeding each other in one continuous loop. The homeschool classroom informed the curriculum. The curriculum deepened the painting. The painting shaped the teaching. Layers on layers, round and round it goes.

​

People who know Linda well say she blows their minds. That not everyone thinks the way she does. They're right. She brings an intensity to everything she touches — the technique, the lesson, the material, the mark — that can feel, to those who experience it, like watching something close to magic.

​

But here's the thing about Linda: she cares. Deeply, practically, personally. Whether you are here to collect a painting, find curriculum for your student, learn a technique, or simply figure out what art-integrated learning even means — she is here to support your art health.
