About Linda
Linda Olliver brings 30 years of experience as an illustrator and infographic artist to her work. Her award-winning pieces are known for their colorful nature and ability to convey both emotion and humor. Linda's artistic versatility allows her to create everything from highly detailed and textured illustrations to simple line work, making her well-suited for a diverse range of projects.
After her studies at Parsons School of Design, Linda started her career in advertising before moving into editorial publications and marketing. Driven by a passion for ongoing development, she has also expanded her skillset to include motion graphics and basic animation.
Growing up on the New Jersey Shore, Linda developed a keen sense of observation through her constant exploration of the local rivers and ocean. She now finds her home in Baltimore to be a source of endless fascination, with a unique talent for discovering character and narrative in her everyday surroundings.
While creating infographics may seem different from illustrating children's books, Linda finds great fulfillment in the intellectual challenge of visually communicating complex information.
