Bette Linderman

I don’t identify my work with any one particular movement in 20th century art.  I work in a variety of media, thus my work takes shape dependent upon the medium and the content of the piece.

My paintings and prints are serious in nature; my sculptures are playful and whimsical. In both, content is central.  I play with ideas - challenging and expanding the relationships between the visual and the written word, or finding the obscure relationships between objects.

My background as a textile artist plays an important role in my paintings and prints.  I tend to weave with color while layering images and surface techniques to create textural depth.  Having worked for many years as a graphic designer, graphic elements are an integral part of the whole.’t
