About Linda Wheat

Interrupting a successful career as an artist in the New Orleans area, Hurricane Katrina landed me in Tyler so I could be near my grandkids!  Friendly, beautiful Tyler! 

After 10 years teaching Middle and Upper School Art at All Saints Episcopal School here in Tyler, I retired, but not really... ;) Teaching art is so fulfilling, I opened Tyler Art School.  Here, at my home

(3615 Woodbine Blvd.) I've created a bright, sunny & spacious teaching studio for small classes.

I care about my students & we get to know each other well!

About Art-cats Yeti and SweetPea

Rescued during Covid, I met these Siamese siblings teaching art online. They were 2 tiny blue-eyed white fluff balls and my Covid silver lining! Yeti & SweetPea are very involved in the goings on in the art

classroom!
