To me the most thrilling concepts in painting are creating the illusions of light and of space, and to these ends in teaching I am most interested in weaving color theory into the practice of painting so that it becomes a seamless way of thinking about color, composing in three dimensions on a two-dimensional plane, and helping students use these ideas to find their own form of expression. I have been drawing and painting all my life. I grew up in New York City where I went to Cooper Union Art School.

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.

Some of my shots are obviously location-heavy, so beautiful that you point and shoot. Others less obvious, and some Photoshop'd (the truth of the subject retained). Now we have phones that can take amazing pictures: The challenge comes from picking the right subject.

Ever since I can remember I have been a dreamer, a creator, and someone who is fiercely devoted to self expression and kindness.
