About Me

Sisters Linda Woods and Karen Dinino are the authors of the bestselling book Visual Chronicles: The No-Fear Guide to Creating Art Journals, Creative Manifestos and Altered Books. Their fearless, no-rules approach to art journaling has been featured on The View , national television, and in magazines and newspapers nationwide. Linda’s vibrant artwork, unique journals, and articles about the creative process have appeared in books, magazines, art calendars, and exhibits worldwide. Karen Dinino practices employment law, trains executives to write and to speak well, and formerly was a professional journalist. Together, Linda and Karen teach workshops designed to help artists communicate better with words, and to help writers communicate better with art—the combination creating powerful, evocative, limitless, visual journals.
