Dot To Dot Paint Shop

My experience as a teacher, mother and grandmother has shown me that elaborate setups and materials are not necessary to create meaningful experiences for the children in your life. Simple, everyday play can be very important and can create life-long memories when shared with a caring person in their life. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, neighbor, teacher or nanny, the emotional connection you have with a child is far more important and long-lasting than any toy they could ever receive. Dot-to-Dot helps to provide the materials and instructions to create those connections through ordinary play.

ABOUT ME

Linda is painting a custom home portrait

Hello! My name is Linda Perkins. I was born and raised in northwest Louisiana and loved raising my family here as well. After spending many years teaching young children with special needs (and a lifetime exploring creative arts) I began painting and creating digital art and have fallen in love with the art of surface design.

I love being outdoors, surrounded by flowers, insects and birds and I hope that I can pass on that love of nature to you through my designs. Having spent most of my life sewing, I am always on the lookout for interesting fabrics for various projects and when I can’t find them, I have been often create them myself. Now, it’s time to share them with others as well.
