Originally from Croton-on-Hudson, Linda Peckel developed a lifelong interest in the Hudson River School of painting, and has since expanded her appreciation to many types of art that hail from the Hudson River Valley and the Adirondacks. She managed Lakeshore Gallery in Bolton Landing in 2009, and reports on the arts from Albany to Canada on her own website, Arts Enclave.
Linda has crewed on film sets, worked on film and music festivals, and interviewed painters, photographers and artists of all kinds.
Also a health writer, Linda has written for magazines such as Boston Home & Garden, Family Circle and Fairfield County Woman. She co-wrote the e-book, Just What the Doctor Ordered—An Insider’s Guide to Medical Writing with Nancy Monson, and contributed to Monson’s book, Craft to Heal—Soothing Your Soul with Sewing, Painting and Other Pasttimes.
