About Me

My name is Linda Wallentine

I'm an artist and freelance writer based in New Jersey with a passion for stories that celebrate culture, creativity, and connection. 

 

Whether through images or words, my goal is the same: to tell stories that resonate, invite connection, and make space for authenticity.

Artist, Writer, & Storyteller... 

​After graduating from Lesley University College of Art & Design in 2020, I learned the ins and outs of editorial publishing at MunaLuchi Bride, where I wrote and edited more than 500 stories spanning culture, lifestyle, travel, and brand storytelling.

 

From celebrity cover features to original series like The Food Experience and Behind the Brand, I’ve built a career around creating content that is authentic, inclusive, and deeply engaging. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with marketing and design teams on strategic campaigns, affiliate partnerships, and editorial projects that amplify diverse voices.

​

Now, I’m expanding my creative practice to include both freelance writing services—from travel and lifestyle features to copywriting and editorial support—and continuing my work as a visual artist.

 

My artwork, often created with oil pastels (I call them "adult crayons" lol), gouache, and charcoal, explores the human experience through expressive mark-making and color. Many of my pieces function as intimate self-portraits and a visual diary, reflecting on themes like mental health, resilience, and emotional connection.

​

Whether through words or images, my goal is the same: to tell stories that resonate, invite connection, and make space for authenticity.

If you’re looking for a dedicated writer or original artwork, I’d love to connect!​
