Linda Armantrout

Linda Armantrout received a B.A. in Studio Art at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Her painting teachers were abstract expressionists who had studied at Black Mountain College.  Her foundation in Art History came from John Sloane and William Alcott.  Later, in Denver, she studied basic design and color theory with Edith Niblo, and then the ideas of 20th Century painting really fell into place.

Painting for Linda is about gesture, color, and relationships within the frame.  She uses the elements of art and principles of design to support idea and communication.

Linda has been encouraged by curators, Sally L. Perisho, Ken Bloom, and Jerry Allen Gilmore.  Her work was selected into group exhibits by Dianne Vanderlip and Gwen Chanzit (Denver Art Museum), and she received a juror’s award from Debra Jordy.
