Linda McCord
Longview, Washington
Artist Linda McCord works with most two-dimensional mediums and creates fluid art using transparent layers. Embracing both a methodical and flexible approach, she delves into the scientific aspects of the process, incorporating mathematical concepts rather than emotions. "Composition and color schemes are my primary focus," says Linda. She managed her own gallery for a decade while also imparting her knowledge of painting and printmaking in college classes. Linda's dedication and self-taught journey have led to numerous awards for her work. She diligently spends eight hours a day, five days to six a week, in her spacious and paint-covered studio next to her home. In her spare time, Linda enjoys crafting Nuno felt hats, searching for reference materials, and marketing her creations.



Artist Statement
I create to make sense of what I feel but can’t always say. My work is abstract—layered color, movement, and texture—made with acrylics and alcohol ink. I work instinctively, letting the painting evolve, often surprising myself in the process.
My background is in realism: portraits, figures, vehicles, and still life. I’ve worked in oil, watercolor, pastel, fiber, and printmaking. That foundation still shapes how I see. Even in abstraction, I’m always thinking about composition and balance.
Art has been my lifelong path. I’ve exhibited widely, taught for years, and co-own a gallery in Washington. At this stage, I value honesty in the work—and the moments when a piece speaks louder than words.
