Born in Portland, Oregon, in 1941, Linda Hanson earned her B.A. from California State University in 1983 and her M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1986. Although primarily a painter, Hanson has also done illustration and graphic design. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and art centers in California and Washington, D.C.
