Toscana Studio is a small working art studio specializing
in sculpture andthree dimensional art. It is operated by Linda Ahearn
who is a local artist in Tucson, Arizona. She began her art career at
the age of 12 with oil painting classes. She continued focus in oil until
her junior year in college when she attended art school in Florence,
Italy. At Gonzaga in Florence, she learned many different sculpture methods,
and was quite inspired by the master sculptors work in Europe. She finished
her degree with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, graduating Magna Cum Laude from
Holy Names College in Oakland CA in 1984.
Since then, she has been involved in many continuing
education courses in the arts, specifically in sculpture. She has learned
mold making techniques, plaster and cement casting, as well as sculpting
in clay. She does many commission pieces and also specializes in sculpture
repair. She continues to paint in oils and has carried painting over
to her sculptures. For several years, Linda has taught children sculpture
in clay and plaster and has decided to expand her business to offer more
classes for both children and adults. |
