In the early 1970's, after moving to Dallas, she spent a few years designing and producing abstract stichery art which she showed and sold in the Dallas Metroplex. After raising her twin boys and a career in teaching, Lynda pursued her long time interest in the art of Batik. Her work includes her beloved wildflowers along with a wide variety of other domestic flowers and, more recently, some animals. After four years of teaching herself the Batik process, Lynda, began to show her work in juried art shows in the south- west and that led to the award winning work being hung in some Texas galleries.

Lynda, was one of 300 hundred artist from around the world to participate in the “Bayou City Art Festival” in Houston.
