When I was four years old, my Russian Grandmother took my hands in hers, looked me
deeply in the eyes, and said to me in Russian,"Linda Cheryl, you have golden hands."
This gift I have been given is not only precious, but enduring.

Linda Brown spent her early years in upper New York State, moving to New Orleans, Louisiana when she was seven.
She first received artistic acclaim as a senior in high school, by winning the international artistic award.
Her contemporary oil painting of Jackson Square in New Orleans, Louisiana on a Sunday afternoon was exhibited
throughout Europe.
She went on to study art at the McGrady Art Institute, the University of New Orleans, Louisiana
State University, and Newcomb College in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Her contemporary oil paintings have been shown in
the Tygier-Knight Gallery on Royal Street in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana and are a part of
numerous private collections in the South.
With this extensive background, Linda Brown focused her talents into the
three dimensional form of sculpting, which she considers the most expressive and challenging of the art forms.
At Newcomb College in New Orleans, Louisiana under the tutelage of the renowned sculptor, Jules Struppeck, this
evolution began. She has successfully transferred into her contemporary sculptures the same intense feeling that
had characterized her oil paintings - feelings that provoked the viewer into a sensuous and thoughtful mood.
Her contemporary oil paintings have been in several shows in the New Orleans area, including a judged show
sponsored by the New Orleans Museum of Art. |
