Linda McCord is a professional artist whose work bridges fine art and functional design. Grounded in years of formal training, gallery ownership, and teaching, her practice spans expressive abstraction and carefully crafted objects that bring art into everyday life.
Working with acrylics, alcohol inks, and mixed media, McCord builds her pieces through layering, intuition, and deliberate composition. Color, movement, and structure play equal roles, shaped by a deep understanding of value and form developed through decades of realist work.
Whether on canvas or porcelain, each piece is created individually—an exploration of process, memory, and visual rhythm. Her work invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and discover meaning within abstraction.
Linda McCord is a versatile visual artist working across a range of two-dimensional mediums, with a diverse body of work that spans vehicles, figurative subjects, and abstract compositions. Equally at home in realism and abstraction—a rare combination—McCord is known for her bold use of light and shadow. Even in her most realistic pieces, the interplay of value creates underlying abstract structures that give her work a striking visual energy.
Her compositions are built not on emotion, but on intention—rooted in mathematical design principles that lend clarity and strength to each piece. This calculated approach results in artwork that is both expressive and structurally powerful.
A former gallery owner and college-level instructor in painting and printmaking, McCord has been a committed figure in the art community for decades. She has received numerous international awards, with her work held in corporate and private collections around the world. In 2022, she was honored with the prestigious Gold Award at MiKiHASi, Memories, an international film and exhibition event, for her watercolor portrait series In the 90’s.
