Linda Liao was born in 1962 into an engineers' family in Nanning city of the Guangxi Autonomous Region of China. Growing up in the countryside of this region during the Cultural Revolution, she turns to drawing and painting for refuge.
In 1987, Linda moves to Melbourne, Australia, where she takes drawing courses at a local art school and studies oil painting with a local artist. Later on, in 1994, she travels to Europe to continue her fine arts training by studying the master pieces in Europe's many museums and by extensively visiting galleries. She also has been continuously reading extensively in literature, art history, philosophy, contemporary art movements, appreciating music and contemporary dance.
In 1995, Linda arrives in Hong Kong and after another short stint in Sydney settles down in this vibrant city with her French husband with whom she now has two sons.
Linda has been active as a fulltime artist since 2003. In 2006, her dream comes true when she is able to move into her painting studio in Wan Chai where she also conducts a life drawing workshop.
