Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: March-2022
For Linda Sabic, art is a dynamic process that will not be denied, and she can’t help sharing her passion with others.

“Art is the magic that turns a collection of nothing into a soul-satisfying something,” beams Linda Sabic, accomplished watercolorist and art educator.
“Watercolor is sometimes a delicate medium,” Linda says. “I am drawn to its softness and fluidity. Even though it seems to have a mind of its own, it challenges me to explore it’s capabilities. Oddly enough, I find it a peaceful medium.”
For those unfamiliar with watercolor, it moves, it shifts, it blends and resists in its short-lived liquid state. For Linda, that is what makes it so fascinating.
From an early age, Linda knew art and teaching would be in her future. Her mentors recognized her calling and nurtured her gifts. Because she was drawn to early childhood education as well as painting, it was only natural she fuse the two when it matched age groups she taught.
She also instructed high school seniors in Watercolor Conservatory Classes as well as 2-D Art and Wet Mediums to seventh and eighth graders in the California School of the Arts.
Her educator’s philosophy is to guide each student in the discovery of their inner artist.
Linda says, “Igniting each student’s passion as they gain a sense of mastery is at the core of my instruction and continues to be in my adult classes today.”
As vaccinations and masks make home gatherings viable again, Linda expands her highly-popular Art-home paint parties.
She and The Historic Toxaway Market and Mountain Café partner in wine and watercolor gatherings. Sip, chat, and paint.
She’s currently teaching at Mountain Falls during the summer season and hopes to offer more classes soon at Burlingame.
In addition, she welcomes commissions of pets, memorials for pets, botanicals, and more.
Gratitude is key to Linda’s success as artist and educator. She says, “I owe my achievement to God‘s guidance and the support of Chris and Robin Pickel of The Historic Toxaway Market and Mountain Café.”
