In her nearly three decades in Mill Valley, Linda Rosso was widely known for her community service. Whether it was her stint on the Parks and Recreation Commissioner in the 1990s or her time on committees and boards for the Community Center, the Library, the Business Advisory Board, the Chamber of Commerce and the Outdoor Art Club, Rosso had a hand in a plethora of the most important parts of the 94941 community.
But as she wound down her career as an award-winning marketing and communications executive, Rosso turned her attention to painting and started showing her work in 2009.
Rosso’s latest work, a salon-style show of plein air landscapes, “Favorite Places,” features oil paintings, drawings and prints of Marin, Lake Tahoe and Sonoma County. The show will be display throughout November at the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center (85 Throckmorton Ave., Tuesday–Saturday, 10am–4pm) and at the Mill Valley Arts Commission's First Tuesday Artwalk on November 3, 6–8 pm.

Rosso’s paintings have been shown at MOCA (Marin Museum of Contemporary Art), the Marin County Fair, Marin Society of Artists and the Studio Gallery in San Francisco. From 2011 until they closed in 2013, her local landscape paintings were best sellers at Moss and Moss Mill Valley.
In fact, it was at Moss and Moss that Rosso was discovered by the director of the Chalk Hill Artist’s Residency, and was invited to be an artist in residence in Healdsburg. In 2014, Rosso’s art was featured in Sonoma Discoveries magazine – a prescient event – as shortly after publication, she and her husband Michael purchased a home in the Sonoma Valley and moved there in July 2015.
“While Mill Valley will always be HOME, it is exciting to explore new places and new weather conditions for painting outdoors," says Rosso. "In a sense, each location has it’s own mood and season and the colors and compositions I choose reflect that – whether it is a monochromatic fog in Tennessee Valley, the spring melt in Tahoe or the summer lavender fields in Sonoma.”
