Respite
Linda Wandt is a representational oil painter and instructor who moved from Long Island, New York to Texas in 1999. She obtained a BA in studio art from The University of Texas at Austin with an additional focus on literature and philosophy, and years later Wandt studied figure painting at Atelier Dojo. The first decade of her professional art practice was dedicated to magic realism portraiture, with an eventual shift in exploring cycles and color relationships through flora and fauna. Wandt won a Juror’s Choice Award at Art City Austin in 2018, has won a grant from the City of Austin’s Building Capacity fund, in 2020 won a scholarship to attend the Portrait Society of America’s annual conference, and her work is on view in Austin City Hall for a third time at The People’s Gallery. She was the spring recipient of the 2025 Artist in Residence program at Wild Basin Creative Research Center. Wandt teaches painting and drawing at The Dougherty Art Center and at Cordovan Art School.
