THE ESTATE OF
LINDA K. POWELL

Linda K. Powell, was one of the
nation's most beloved wildlife and nature illustrators. Linda passed
away in September 2004. She rarely sold her originals to clients or in
a gallery because she licensed her illustrations rather than sell them.
This left her in possession of almost all of her original art. This
beautifully detailed art has attracted many fans over her 35-plus years
as an illustrator.
Some of Linda's high-profile clients have included the following...
Greeting Card
Companies:
American Greetings (including her own line of
Cloverleaf Lane™ products, figurines and plates)
Current (including Current Critters™)
Leanin' Tree
Needleart
Companies:
Dimensions
Sunset
Other:
National Wildlife Federation and their Ranger Rick
Magazine
Ducks Unlimited (stamps for United States Post
Office)
American Humane Society
Unicover Corporation (collectable stamps and
postcards)
Collectible Plates for Royal Cornwall and the
Calhoun Collector's Society
The Walt Disney Company (Linda was asked to redraw
the "101 Dalmatians" as a style guide for Disney
merchandising artists when they released their
live-action version of the movie. The character art needed to look more
realistic than the original flat-graphic cartoon
art.)

illustrated:

American Bestiary by Jack Schaefer
Biography
of a Desert Bighorn by Barbara Steiner

of a Kangaroo Rat by Barbara Steiner
