Linda van Gehuchten first came to Indiana in 1992. She is a wood turner out of Sarver, Pennsylvania, and also a teacher. She teaches her art to interested artists through the Indiana Council for the Arts. She enjoys working with wood and has an incredibly talented way of manipulating it, to make everything from mirrors to clocks, all of which turn out looking spectacular. Linda prefers to work alone but sometimes uses her husband to help with some of her projects.
