Artist Biography:
Linda Fantuzzo’s childhood home is Endicott, New York. While in high school, she wanted to be a painter and chose to study the classical techniques of painting and graphics at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1968-1973. After her formal training, she worked non-objectively in various media for over 10 years and then returned to painting landscapes and still lifes.
Fantuzzo has shown her work in numerous exhibitions throughout her career. Her paintings are represented in many public and private collections including the Greenville County Museum; the Gibbes Museum; Columbia College in SC; the River Course and Cassique Golf Clubs of Kiawah, and many law and corporate offices within the region.
Currently, she and her husband reside in Mt. Pleasant. Fantuzzo works full time in her downtown Charleston studio and is active within the arts community. She has served on the panel for the SC State Arts Acquisitions Committee for two years and served as a juror for the Charleston City Gallery. In 2000, Fantuzzo co-curated an exhibition titled “Sehnsucht: The Art of Pati Croffead”. Fantuzzo participated on the Advisory Board of The Halsey Institute, 2005-2006. She was the project director for “Larger Than Life: A Second Story Show,” an exhibition featured during Piccolo Spoleto 2001 and sponsored by the Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs.

About the Work:

“I have painted for many years and though the concept of each painting may differ, the act of painting remains an endless source of fascination to me. Images appear and disappear with the stroke of a loaded brush or a small smudge of paint. Decisions are made in a split second either to retain or to eradicate each new passage. While the engagement of this process is gratifying in itself, the end result will hopefully awaken something deep within me, and within the viewer.”
