She then taught in the Maryland Institute, College of Art MAT Program for one year. Linda supervised art education student teachers at Towson University, and then retired again in 2021.

Linda has served on the National Art Education Association Council as the Secondary Division Director and Eastern Region Vice-President and is a NAEA Distinguished Fellow.

Since retiring, she has been able to shift her focus full-time to her studio work.

She consistently exhibits her work in these galleries and also other venues outside of the area. She has had solo exhibits at Gallery Blue Door in Baltimore, and the Leu Gallery, Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee and was invited to participate in the Baltimore Assemblage Exhibit at Hamilton Art Gallery, 2023. Linda was selected for the “Constructed Stories & Fabricated Forms” Exhibit, Assemblage Sculpture by Eight Regional Artists, at Gallery 220 in Havre de Grace, 2024. She has created several videos documenting aspects of her assemblage process on her YouTube channel that have been used in classrooms and by individuals. Linda continues to host assemblage workshops in-person and via zoom from her studio. She has presented workshops at Frederick Community College, Towson University, Stevenson University, Belmont University, Towson Arts Collective, and the National Art Education Association Conference.
