Meet Linda Maggio
Linda grew up as a military BRAT, moving often and developing a lifelong love of adventure and the arts. She earned a BFA in jewelry design from Pittsburg State University, studying under renowned artist Marjorie Schick, before beginning a career that took an unexpected turn into meeting planning with the Department of Energy. There, she earned a master's degree in Public Policy and met her husband, who later joined the Air Force.
Over the next 21 years, their family lived around the world, including 10 years in Europe and 3 in Asia, where Linda immersed herself in art, culture, and travel while raising two daughters. After her husband's retirement, the family settled in North Carolina, where Linda eventually rediscovered her passion for creating. A visit to Mooresville Arts reignited that creative spark. She began volunteering as a docent, found a welcoming artistic community, and now serves as Education Director, helping others discover and grow their own creativity.
