Linda Post received her B.A. from the University of Rochester in 1972 and did post-graduate work in printmaking at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She is a Founding Director of the Paradise City Arts Festivals.

about the work

Post's monotypes, paintings and pastels, intensely pigmented, highly detailed and filled with movement, speak to the very tenuous balance of conscious and unconscious. Much of her imagery explores edges: the cusp between childhood and adolescence, the place where the sky becomes the sea, the spaces between relationships, and especially the light of twilight or dawn - the most ambiguous times of day, when objects lose their clarity, and even the sky is ambivalent about its intentions.
