Linen closet is at end of hallway next to master bedroom. It backs directly into master closet which is pretty small. I'd like to open up into master and close the doorway to linen closet up to make a wall for either an art piece or a mirror. Inside master I'd like to organize for my uniforms etc.

Sure, this can be done quite easily with a reciprocating saw.
These are heavy, and loud, and will create lots of dust, but will get the job done of opening the two closets done in minutes.
Cut into the sheetrock backing the linen closet, and remove the shelves.

Use a hammer and pry bar to remove the drywall on both sides of the back wall of the linen closet. Then remove any studs that were in the wall. You will need to do some patching and sanding. Remove the linen closet door. Remove the trim around the door. Frame the opening with 2X4's. Then drywall both sides. Tape, mud, sand, prime, and paint.
Depending on the size of the area you can use pretty baskets to hold smaller items. I have baskets labeled: bathing suits, scarves, winter, cami’s and tanks
