about

Linda Cassidy is a painter, photographer and digital artist who lives and works in the Hudson Valley.

Cassidy received her BA at Bard College,where she first fell in love with the beauty of the Hudson Valley. There she studied with and was strongly influenced by poets George Quasha and Robert Kelly, composer Ben Boretz and painter Elizabeth Murray. Each in their own way taught her to understand and participate in art-making as an intent form of listening.

She received her MA from SUNY Stony Brook, where she worked closely with sculptor Robert White, who helped her attune to the possibilities and poeticisms of line. She also studied with art writer Lawrence Alloway who influenced her professional path towards Art History.

Later studies at LIU Southampton Master’s Workshop brought her into contact with painters Robert Dash, April Gornick and Ross Bleckner, each of whom influenced her towards deeper exploration in her process.

Her work is represented in private collections throughout the US and Europe as well as museums and institutions on the east end of Long Island, where she lived for many years as she raised her daughter and taught Art History and Humanities in the local schools and universities.. 

Her recent work probes the intersections between the perceived surfaces of the 3-dimensional physical world and the vast virtual possibilities of digital art.

Photos that behave like paintings, paintings that become transformed into layered photos, light streams that transpose into perceived  matter, fractalization of common forms; all are part of her present inquiry.
