Linda Loveland Reid
​

Maybe the fact that I was born in Hollywood has given my practicality a huge shot of drama. Certainly, living in California Wine Country for 50+ years has given me great joy. 

Before I retired from an insurance firm that I founded (Reid-Loveland Insurance), now run by my daughter, I was Executive Director of United Way for North Bay.
Now retired, I follow different passions: Painting, Writing, Lecturing, and Directing Theater. 
Painting = I never expected to do this and it is a thrill every time I pick up a brush.  Writing = I have two novels on Amazon! Poetry has become another passion.  Lecturing = I love teaching Art History, to share my love of art and inspire others.  Directing = Bringing a play together is like painting, only with a lot more talented people involved. I have three children who constantly amaze me with their talents and kindness.
An important side to immersing myself in any creative process is the many new friends that have become a part of my life. 

My motto: You are what you ART
