I am a contemporary artist working primarily in glass, using figurative and narrative forms to explore identity, migration, social history, and collective memory. Trained as an architect, my practice brings a disciplined, structural approach to glass as a conceptual medium rather than a purely material one.

Chair/Volunteer Positions Held
I attended college at Carnegie Mellon University where I earned a BFA in graphic design. My interest in abstraction flows naturally from being a designer. After working in advertising, book design, illustration and publication design, I opened my own design firm, Linda S. Sherman Design, Inc. Our clients included PBS, the Kennedy Center, shopping malls, many labor unions, associations and the U.S. government. I sold my business in 2007 to follow my interest in painting and to have more personal time.
I received a B.A. degree in Studio Art from Oberlin College in 1971 and a Master of Science in Visual Studies degree from the M.I.T. Center For Advanced Visual Studies in 1981. After teaching Video Art at the Massachusetts College of Art from 1984-1988, I joined the faculty of the UMBC Department of Visual Arts in 1988 where I continued to teach Video Art until I retired in 2020. I served as Graduate Program Director of the Imaging and Digital Art MFA program from 2001-2007 and as Chairperson of the department from 2008-2015.
I am a Baltimorian with mid-western roots. Brought up by a social worker and landscape photographer moonlighting as a trucker driver. I was raised in a house with art, deep thinking, community, strong work ethic, thoughtful inclusivity, and a WHOLE lot of neurodivergent folks.
