Linda McCord is a professional visual artist whose work spans abstraction and realism, grounded in decades of formal training, exhibition experience, and studio practice. She studied art with a strong foundation in composition, value, and structure, working extensively in representational drawing and painting before expanding into abstract work.

Her abstract paintings are built through a layered, intuitive process that balances control and discovery. Working primarily with acrylics, mixed media, and experimental techniques, McCord develops compositions through careful planning and sustained engagement with color, movement, and spatial relationships. While the work may appear spontaneous, it is informed by the same disciplined approach she applies to figurative and realist subjects.

McCord owned and operated a fine art gallery for ten years and has taught painting and printmaking at the college level. Her work has been widely exhibited in national and international juried exhibitions and has received numerous awards across both abstract and representational categories. Her paintings are held in private and permanent collections.

In addition to her studio practice, McCord maintains a separate body of functional work through her Home Art Designs studio, translating abstract processes onto everyday surfaces. This work is developed independently from her fine art practice.
