STATEMENT

Dancing hands rhythmically apply color, line, and texture to paper either within grid-like structures or letting loose among curvaceous shapes. Shapes and lines of luscious pastel are challenged to assert themselves, or retreat, explode with color, hide in corners, reside on petite papers, or spread out on larger formats.

BIO

After a career as one of the first women Art Directors in American advertising, Linda Miller was able to create art of her own purpose and vision. As an art student, she studied with wonderful artists among them Philip Pearlstein, Esteban Vicente, and Ad Reinhardt, receiving a BA and MA in art education at NYU. In recent years, Linda has concentrated on abstract drawing with virtually pure pigments: intensely colored, soft, and metallic pastels introduced to her by the Artist/Teacher Meredith Rosier at the Woodstock School of Art. Exhibitions include Zella Nine Gallery, London; The Doghouse Gallery, Saugerties, NY; Atlantic Gallery, NYC; The Wired Gallery, Stone Ridge, NY; The Woodstock Artist Association/Museum (Doris Lee/Elfriede Borkmann Award, Best in Show).
