Linda Chappel

Linda Chappel’s creative work currently focuses on landscape, wildlife and the myths that humans form to mediate our interaction with nature. Through both sculpture and painting her work explores how human’s relationship with nature shift and changes, and is now coming to an important point in history. Her work utilizes her studies in both Fine art and Art History.
Linda’s formal studies in art began at the University of Madison, Wisconsin where she was fortunate to study in the sculpture department with Dan Reitz, George Cramer and Truman Lowe. She graduated from Madison with a bachelor degree in the Fine Arts in 1986. She worked in various fields and as a fine artist in Santa Fe and Seattle and showed in a number of galleries, including the OK Hotel and FLN in Seattle. Also in Seattle she was also involved in a number of projects including a non-profit artist run gallery (Reller/Beffle) and setting up studio and performance spaces for artists.
In 1992 Linda decided to further her studies and came to the University of Arizona at Tucson for a Graduate degree in Art History as a means to further her creative interests. In 1996 she was awarded a Master’s Degree in Art History, specializing in Mexican Art History. Linda Chappel...
