Red Bluff Art Associa- tion's April Artist of the Month is portrait and west- ern artist Linda Yamas Young. "Linda, a very talented artist, has been a mem- ber of RBAA for approxi- mately 6 years," said Pres- ident Kathy Brehm. "Dur- ing this time she has been a great asset to the mem- bership and we are happy she joined us. Her drawings and colored pencil pieces are wonderful." Linda spent her grow- ing-up years first in Mich- igan where she was born and later when she was a teen, the family moved to Arizona. In both situations, her family resided in rural ar- eas with numerous animals. In Michigan she lived with her parents, two brothers and a sister. Nearby were 11 aunts and uncles and 38 cousins. She states that hol- idays were especially filled with fun. When Linda was 13, the family relocated to Arizona. Here Linda spent hours and hours riding horses in the desert. Today, both people and horses are favored art subjects. When Linda was in her 20s she did a lot of travel- ing, settling in California. She has three daughters and several grandchildren. Recent activities include helping to plant a new wal- nut orchard. The family is looking forward to celebrating ro- deo with a large family and friends gathering. Linda often admired her great-grandmother's beau- tiful, hand-painted china. Great grandmother was very talented in other artsy areas as well. Linda says that she always wanted to draw. Finally at age 50 she enrolled in a form and composition art class. Here she applied what she had learned to drawing por- traits. "I've been hooked ever since," Linda says with em- phasis. She is especially fond of working with graph- ite and colored pencils. When Linda moved to Red Bluff, she joined RBAA. "The friends I've made there are so supportive in many ways and I truly ap- preciate them," she said. RBAA, bringing art op- portunities, education and enrichment to the North Valley, meets at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Tehama District Fairground, 650 Antelope Blvd., Red Bluff.
