Linda Butti
When painting, emotions, unconscious mind and intuitions are all called upon to comment on a particular idea. It's an integral part of one's life. It allows one to challenge, dissect, and make decisions on elements that are intellectual and intangible in the physical aspect of living. Nature inspires one to go beyond the merely physical into a world of sensations and nuances.
Linda Butti makes her work through the traditional medium of oil painting, water media on canvas , masonite or heavy arches paper.
Linda Butti has several degrees: BFA, MFA and DFA, all from the City University of New York. Professor Butti has taught studio and art history at universities in NYC over the last forty years. She is a prolific artist, having had thirty solo shows in the NYC area, with her work in diverse collections, such as St Patrick's Cathedral, NYC and the Williamsburg Art and History Center, Bklyn.
