About the artist

Linda Erzinger

American

After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1989, Linda Erzinger worked as a freelance artist creating murals, photography and jewelry. She gained a Master’s degree in Expressive Therapies from the University of Louisville in 1996. Working full time as an art therapist for 15 years informed her work to incorporate community-involved projects and interactive installations. Her experience in set building for Actors Theater and Bunbury Theater highlights her love of creating environments.

Erzinger has earned top prizes in many group shows, most notably a Merit award from the Huntsville Art Museum Biennial Red Clay Survey. Solo shows include Spalding University, Billy Hertz Gallery, Swanson Contemporary, the Art Sanctuary and the Mary Anderson Center. She participated in The Art of Goodwill residency program, and represented Kentucky in the national Her Flag project. She is the current Chair of the Enid Generations of Women Sculptors and the Louisville TimeBank. Her recent residency at the BigCi Artist residency in Bilpin, Australia and deep-seeded wanderlust have inspired her to seek more art-travel opportunities in the future.
