Linda Zacks spent most of her life moving around. She grew up in England and attended High School in Holland. She attended and graduated from Brown University after studying semiotics and creative writing. She also lived across the the street from the Rhode Island School of Design. All these life experiences led to a career as an accomplished designer and fine artist.
Linda Zacks loves words and letters.One of her signatures is how she uses type in her art. Her work is part poetry, part paint that often reflects adoration, anxiety, fear, tension and calamity. Her artistic vocabulary is very freeing and cathartic. Themes in her work include; the wonders of being female, the strangeness of America, love and hate and beauty and war.
She uses objects like old wood, torn paper, rusty metal, ink, duct tape and even scribbled over polaroid. She also uses alot of texture in her work.
