Botanical Artist Becomes Artist in Residence at The Elizabethan Gardens

March 28, 2011 by Tania Marien

Linda Miller with Executive Director, Carl V. Curnutte, III.

A Special Honor
Botanical artist Linda C. Miller has been named the first “Artist in Residence” at The Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, NC in recognition of her dedication and history with the Garden. In 2009, Linda launched the Garden’s botanical art classes and has been praised for both her teaching skills and the way she encourages students.

Linda has exhibited her work in the Mid Atlantic Region and in the Northeast. Her artwork has also appeared in national publications. An exhibition of Linda’s work will be on display at The Elizabethan Gardens in the Reception Hall through April.

The Garden’s Executive Director, Carl V. Curnutte III said, “We are thrilled to have Linda Miller be our first of many ‘Artists in Residence’ for The Elizabethan Gardens. Her work is outstanding and we are privileged to have her join us as the first of, hopefully, many artists.”

Of her appointment, Miller said, “I am so honored with the first appointment of  ‘Artist In Residence’ for I love the garden and its people.  The entire team is very special and (has) so much energy – positive, can do, lets-get-it-done energy.  I know that their vision and their talents are going to grow the garden in so many ways and I am so happy to play a part at this time.” 

The public is invited to meet with Linda at The Elizabethan Gardens when she launches her residency on Tuesday April 5, 2011 (10 AM – 2 PM). On this special day, Linda will begin a series of ten original paintings for the Garden.

Linda’s botanical art classes can be viewed on her website and in the Classes Near you sections for Virginia and North Carolina. Linda’s upcoming schedule of classes includes:
