About Linda
An artist and resident of Zanesville for 17 years, Linda Regula contributed to the lives of many through her art. But art wasn’t her only passion. Linda was also an author, teacher, activist, gallery-owner, and community organizer. She shared a studio with her husband Jim at Tower Studios in downtown Zanesville, where she created deeply personal, vibrant paintings addressing her own personal experiences and her perspective on contemporary issues, especially those adversely affecting women and children. Her paintings have been displayed in numerous exhibitions where her colorful visual voice inspired viewers to connect with their powerful messages. Linda brought together her love of community and the arts when she created the Y-Bridge Arts Festival in Zanesville. As a writer, Linda’s published works include a children’s series, young adult fantasy novels, and adult fiction. As a mentor to countless artists, motivational speaker, and through the nonprofit she co-founded called the You Will Rise Project, she helped people all over the world feel empowered to express themselves and also learn to love and accept themselves in the process. Hear her story in her own words by watching the Artist Talk video below.
