Linda Low Wolcott lives and paints in Essex, Connecticut and Westport Island, Maine. She was raised in New York, was graduated from Miss Porter’s School, studied at the Sorbonne, Paris; the Ecole Fleury-Delaporte, Paris; Parsons School of Design, New York and the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, Connecticut.

She worked in New York for the couture department of Bergdorf Goodman, became a jewelry designer showing at the Kruger Gallery in New York, and returned to painting when she moved to Connecticut.

She has shown her work at galleries in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Maine and Boca Grande and Palm Beach, Florida.

At a time when paintings were a major source of information, to tell their stories, they needed to be as full of information as possible – from the smallest symbolic flower to the grandest God of Saint.

Today we are bombarded with information – from the radio, even before we open our eyes in the morning, to the newspapers, the computers, the TVs – info-info-info down to the most gory details.

My paintings are to be a respite from this, Still representational, but telling a story with line, rhythm and color. They are not to be challenging or too deeply interpreted but to give the viewer a counterpoint – harmony, peace, balance, mystery and a bit of humor.
