Linda Munn’s clay and painting practice is deeply rooted in the principles of Tino Rangatiratanga, reflecting Māori self-determination. Drawing on ancestral knowledge, she explores the metaphysical and spiritual dimensions of Māori cultural life.

In 1995, she embarked on her artistic journey, studying towards a Diploma in Māori Art and Design Technology at Northland Polytechnic under the guidance of Anne Philbin, Manos Nathan, and Allen Wihongi. She completed a Diploma in Art at the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic in 2008 and earnt a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Waiariki Polytechnic in 2009. 

In 1989, alongside Hiraina Marsden and Jan Dobson, Munn played a pivotal role in designing the Tino Rangatiratanga flag. This collaborative effort aimed to unify Māori concerns during the 1990 celebrations commemorating 150 years of Māori and Pākehā relations. Today, the Tino Rangatiratanga flag stands as the national Māori flag, symbolizing Māori resistance and resilience.

A full-time artist for over two decades, Munn's creative passion reflects the ongoing struggle to reclaim Māori rights, culture, language, and land, community, the protection of women and children against domestic violence, and the sharing of knowledge.
