About
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.

My art is driven by a personal need to explore—both internally and beyond. Each painting becomes a journey: sometimes a transformation, sometimes a search for beauty in the everyday, and sometimes an escape to imagined places. Through my work, I create visual pathways that allow me—and hopefully the viewer—to step outside the ordinary and into something more expansive.
The creative process itself is dynamic: both exhilarating and demanding. It challenges me constantly, yet I find deep satisfaction in the rhythm of making, questioning, and discovering. Art is not simply what I do—it’s how I continue to grow, express, and connect.
