Among the international venues and publications where Linda’s work has appeared are "Photographer's Forum Best of 2000"; Hasselblad Austrian Super Circuit in Linz, Austria; and the XIII International World Aids Conference in Durban, South Africa. She has won numerous awards in national exhibitions, as well. In 1999 "Not Everything Is Forgivable" was exhibited at Stage Gallery’s "Art at the Millennium" by invitation of the curators and directors of the New Museum of Contemporary Art in Soho, Islip Art Museum and Stage Gallery on Long Island, the Nezin Gallery in Freeport and Nexus Gallery in Manhattan. Her work was unanimously chosen from over one thousand submissions by artists representing five continents of the world.

"I shot the 'Manayunk in Winter' series during the 1999-2000 snowfalls in Philadelphia. I was drawn to the neighborhood by its blue-collar history, now celebrated through Manayunk's revitalization of industrial spaces for the cultural enjoyment of the city's people. Appearing bleak at first glance, a closer look reveals the images in this series to be quietly infused with sunlight. Like gray cinders cast back into the fire, the essential Manayunk is a glowing celebration of the hour when the working day ends."
