Nesting, Abstract Painting
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Vibrant orange and yellow flow onto a white background, while black cellular lines provide contrast and dimension. Part of artist Linda McCord's Bird series, the artwork conveys the joyful expression of flying in vivid colors. Linda developed an activator formula that creates large luminous cells and lacing.


About the Artist
Artist Linda McCord works with most two-dimensional mediums and creates fluid art using transparent layers. Embracing both a methodical and flexible approach, she delves into the scientific aspects of the process, incorporating mathematical concepts rather than emotions. "Composition and color schemes are my primary focus," says Linda. She managed her own gallery for a decade while also imparting her knowledge of painting and printmaking in college classes. Linda's dedication and self-taught journey have led to numerous awards for her work. She diligently spends eight hours a day, five days to six a week, in her spacious and paint-covered studio next to her home. In her spare time, Linda enjoys crafting Nuno felt hats, searching for reference materials, and marketing her creations.
