BIOGRAPHY

My name is Linda Marion Westlund.  I paint under the name "RAINBOW".  I was born in Sweden.  I grew up on a small farm in the mid western state of Illinois.  Since my childhood, my passion has been drawing and painting.  As a young girl my parents took me to the Art Institute of Chicago many times, where I had the opportunity to view many of the great masters.  My love of fine art grew. After finishing high school, I attended The Art Institute of Chicago for two years and the American Academy of Art for one year.  I then attended Lea College in Albert Lea, Minnesota, Where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, with a minor in education.  I worked a number of years as a commercial artists.  Among my employers was Walt Disney's Graphic Labs.  I taught in the public schools during the summer and gave private lessons for three years.
I have been painting "The Circles" for twenty eight years.  My husband James has been my greatest supported.  He stretches my canvas and helped with this Web site.  I have two children with James, Cody 21 and Lacey 19.  They help with everything around the house including its construction, so I can paint full time.  These paintings are guide by a voice or spirit guide of some kind.  I don't actually hear a voice except in my mind.  The voice guides me in the direction the message of each painting is to bring.  Linda Marion Westlund, "Rainbow", has just recently been added to the rolls of "The National Registry Of Executives and Professionals", "Who's Who", as an American Woman Artist.


     The names of the paintings, the sizes for the originals are in the boxes below.   There are fourteen paintings that have been reproduced into Giclee' prints.  There are some special offers to those who are interested.   It's a pleasure having you view my web site.  Please enjoy "The Circles", I hope you will find something in the work to inspire you.  They are as much for you as they are for the universe.
