About Lina Bausch Fine Art
Lina knew when she was 6 that she was going to be an artist. She grew up in an extremely artistic and creative family, her father Hans Mitt being a prominent Sydney architect and her mother, Lea, being an artist and Interior Designer. Her brother Hans is also an architect, based in New Zealand. Both her parents were from Estonia. Her Grandfather on her mother's side was Swedish, and on her father's, German.
Rather than be an architect, although she loves drawing houses and has worked for L J Hooker drawing properties for the Sydney papers, Lina is now an award-winning artist concentrating on the beautiful wildlife and scenery that surrounds her.
