Art + Artists

Linda Luise Brown is a painter, writer, and teacher, with over twenty-five years experience as a professional artist. Her work is abstract and painterly, blending contrasting fields of bold color and texture with subtle variations.  Non-representational and subliminal, her imagery alludes to landscape forms and patterns, with calligraphic marks animating the composition. During her residency, Brown has used the Center’s print studio to expand her artistic practice using digital media to interweave print and paint. In addition, she has worked on new ideas for building an on-line space for public dialogue on contemporary art and art criticism as well as teach a course in Art Criticism at UNC-Charlotte. Brown received a BFA in Painting from the University of Illinois and two Masters degrees from the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Oklahoma. She was a Fellow at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire and an alumni Summer Affiliate Artist at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation in 2004.
