About the Artist

 

 

Linda Monfort

"With a B.A. degree in art from San Diego State University, I worked as a graphic designer and art director.

I later focused my energy into creating copper enamels, etched glass and designing and hand-painting texturized furniture using hand-made stencils. I also design custom area rugs working with interior designers.

My style of painting has evolved through many years of exploration. My copper enamels, both hard edge and ethereal, translated in later years into a spontaneous painting style using acrylic paint and my stencil technique. This sometimes gives the appearance of air brushing. Bold colors and swift, blunt strokes predominate. These are sometimes complemented by India ink, charcoal and delicate areas of colored pencil and/or soft pastel. Today I paint original contemporary abstract expressionism paintings, original contemporary Impressionist landscape paintings and original contemporary figurative paintings in acrylics on stretched canvas.

Some of my pieces have an oriental influence due to a period of time spent living in Japan during my impressionable childhood years.

My award winning art has been viewed in many juried exhibitions, galleries, and in private/corporate collections internationally."
