Ms. A. Lucinda Linderman, a native of Chattanooga, took her Bachelor’s degree from Southern University in Collegedale, and studied at Collegio Segunto, Segunto, Spain, Chattanooga State and UTC.
About her work, Ms. Linderman said, “The organic forms that I create seem to me to be innate. I recently rediscovered drawings that I made when I was a child, the basic shapes of which trace the same organic forms that I am now working with, these shapes that have always been in my mind. A love of nature and an intense drive toward discovery led me to pursue a degree in biology. I became intrigued by bacterial structure… Ultimately, all of this contributed to the formation of my aesthetic. The forms that I envision and create are the simple shapes that I have seen all my life, tense with kinetic energy… fluid and natural.”
Ms. Linderman’s work has been exhibited at various venues in Chattanooga including the Center for Creative Arts, The Hunter Museum of American Art, the Association for Visual Artists Gallery, and at the Ann Tower Gallery, Lexington, Ky., Phaello Gallery, Miami, Florida, Hamilton Gallery, Flowery Branch, Georgia, and the Creative Arts Guild Gallery in Dalton, Ga.
Ms. Linderman currently works as Studio Manager for sculptor John Henry in Chattanooga.
