THE ARTIST

Linda Dennery

b. Philadelphia, 1947, is an artist living and working in Manhattan.

Following surgeries on her dominant right hand, she taught herself to draw and paint with her left, discovering unexpected spontaneity in its touch. Today she consciously continues to capture this gift by switching from right hand to left as her paintings progress.

Abstracting her subject matter from the natural world, Dennery dives into her subconscious to explore its meaning. Her chosen phenomenon is then infused with color both unusual and striking. Her work combines a reverence for classical technique and hue with all the excitement and advantage of modern acrylic.

Her goal is to surprise the viewer with something mysterious, yet somehow familiar.
