Welcome to My Studio

This is where the magic happens—

where I paint, teach, write, and (more often than I care to admit) dip my brushes in my coffee.

It's a real working studio, full of heart, hustle, and beauty in progress. And now I get to share it with you.

Take a look around. I’m so glad you’re here.

Linda Chido is a representational painter with master’s degrees in Architecture and Urban Planning from the University of Buffalo, NY. She first trained under Philip Rubinov Jacobson, a close student of Ernst Fuchs, in 2001, receiving direct knowledge of the Mische Technique that she has continued to deepen through her evolving studio practice

She is an artist, a mom to four amazing kiddos, a teacher, writer, and advocate dedicated to making art accessible to underserved communities. She and her artist family are based in Austin, TX.

Meet Soul Candi - A Portrait about Art, Music and Friendship

I’m thrilled to share that Soul Candi, part of my Music Series Collection, will make its physical debut at the Sonic Vision exhibition at The City Arts Center in Round Rock TX, May 8–July 3. This will be the first time the painting can be seen in person, after previously showing online in the 2024 Fall Salon with the International Guild of Realism.

But the story of this painting began long before any exhibit.
