Linda Chido is a force to be reckoned with. An American-born artist, Linda's figurative paintings have been exhibited both nationally and internationally for over two decades. Her exceptional work is also held by several collectors. 

 

Linda's latest work delves into portraiture and explores the complex themes of motherhood with a raw and emotional perspective. Despite juggling her art practice, homeschool, family, and business, Linda has never wavered in her commitment to creating powerful paintings that leave a lasting impact.

​

Together with her husband, artist Ron Gross, Linda places art education at the forefront of their homeschooling approach, believing it to be crucial to a well-rounded education and personal development. This commitment is evident in the exceptional work of their four artist children, each with their own unique style that speaks volumes about the power of one family's dedication to individual artistic expression and exploration.

​

In 2022, Linda founded LINDA CHIDO ART, a business that promotes the artists in the Chido Gross Family. It also creates a learning hub for sharing Linda's extensive art and homeschooling knowledge, and an online shop giving customers access to the exceptional talent that runs through the veins of the Chido Gross Family.

​

In addition, Linda's passion for the arts extends beyond her family. She is a firm believer in the power of art to enrich and transform lives. As an advocate for the arts, she actively works to promote the value of art in her community. Her teaching and volunteer work, which includes providing art instruction to adults with developmental disabilities, demonstrates her deep commitment to sharing the transformative power of art with others. Linda's dedication to this cause sets her as a true champion of the arts and an inspiration to all who seek to make a positive impact through their creativity.

​

Linda holds a MArch and MUP from the University of Buffalo, NY, and has studied painting under some of the greats in the art world, including Philip Rubinov-Jacobson, Michael Fuchs, and Ernst Fuchs. Linda and the Chido Gross Family reside and work south of Austin, Texas, where they continue to create powerful art together.
