LINDA PERCELL

After retiring in 2016, I now devote time to my art focusing on nature. I work with two disparate mediums: graphite and clay. Using graphite, most of my drawings are of animals. I especially love producing portraits of pets (Pet Portraits by Percell). My studies with clay feature subjects in nature (Natures Art of Texas). I hand build or sculpt myriad animals and the natural objects that catch my eye.

In 2010, after almost 35 years as a dental hygienist, I left private practice and became a full-time educator. I was instrumental in assisting the formation of the Dental Hygiene Program at Houston Community College, Coleman Campus. My role was in development in both didactic and clinical areas. While teaching full-time at HCC, I challenged myself to work toward a master’s degree in Health Sciences with a concentration on Education. After achieving this accomplishment in 2012, I took a less stressful role as adjunct faculty in the Dental Hygiene Department at Lone Star College in Kingwood.

I am actively seeking new relationships in new areas where I can use my skills and learn new things.
