Linda Marcus is an interdisciplinary artist whose work lives in the intersection of fiber, sculpture and painting. Central to her practice is material exploration through the lenses of feminism, domesticity and abstraction.
Marcus lives and works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and took a non-traditional path to becoming an artist. Her career as a TV news journalist, fashion designer and mother of three have influenced the concepts found in her artwork. Marcus is a candidate for an MFA degree in summer of 2024 at the School for the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. Marcus also holds a master’s degree in journalism and philosophy from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and a Bachelor of Arts in political science and journalism from the University of California at Berkeley. Marcus’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in the Midwest and awarded several residencies including Assets for Artists at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
