Author Visit: Linda Cardillo (10/15)

October 15th, 2025 | 6:00pm-7:00pm | Community Room

Join us in the Community Room to meet with author Linda Cardillo.

She will be sharing her new book, Paint the Wind.

Maya Sircos, the daughter of a Greek shipping entrepreneur and an Austrian aristocrat, has never quite fit into the upper class world of early twentieth-century Vienna.

Caught up in the crucible of intellectual, artistic, and scientific transformation that defined the city as the cultural capital of Europe, she defies her upbringing and scandalizes both her family and Viennese society by becoming the muse and model for a brilliant young Expressionist artist.

Banished by her parents to her grandparents’ home on the Greek island of Skiathos, she encounters someone who challenges her to create art herself rather than continue as the object of someone else’s vision. Driven to reinvent herself, she must overcome the perception of her as merely a model and confront the indifference of the art world toward women painters.

A story of art, passion, and the will to create.
