“Meet Me Under Kaufmann’s Clock” © Linda Barnicott
|
Name: Linda Barnicott
Bio: Linda Barnicott began her career as a portrait artist in 1975.
Today she is perhaps better known for her Pittsburgh cityscapes. She began in
1989 with a tribute to downtown holiday shopping entitled Meet Me Under
Kaufmann’s Clock. The work immediately won the hearts of Pittsburghers, who
have been meeting friends under the clock downtown for years. After this Linda
created several series of Pittsburgh landmarks, and in 1995 she began her
Kennywood Park series.
Linda was chosen to be the official artist of the 1996 Three Rivers
Regatta. Since 1998, she has been commissioned by the American Cancer Society
of Greater Pittsburgh to create the painting used on their annual holiday card.
In 2000, Linda received a special Proclamation from the City of Pittsburgh,
commemorating her “tremendous contribution in capturing and preserving many
sites in and around the Pittsburgh Area.” This is an honor she holds dear, as a
largely self-taught artist. However, over the years Linda has studied with
Daniel Greene (1981 and 1983) and with Richard McKinley (2010 and 2011). In
March of 2008, she was the cover story in Professional Artist.
Barnicott‘s work has been displayed at the Oncology Wellness Institute
in Meadville, Pennsylvania as part of their holistic approach to cancer
treatment. In 2011, she was asked to be the exclusive artist for the new West
Penn Allegheny Outpatient Facility in Peters Township, providing this facility
with over 50 paintings. That same year, Barnicott was honored to partner with
Healthy Lungs Pennsylvania to develop their annual holiday print and ornament.
Linda's studio is in Monroeville, Pennsylvania where she lives with
her husband and two daughters. She is a member of the Salmagundi Club in New York.

Navigation: I
usually confine my remarks to ease of navigation, and the professionalism of a
website. This website is one from which artists can learn to market their work.
It is well thought out and constructed, and provides easy access to a wide range
of original art, reproductions, prints; note cards, collectibles and ornaments
based on Linda’s art. The main menu and all relevant menus remain accessible at
all times. Linda makes use of her web-site for a resource and as a selling tool.
She has a hardcopy catalog of her work that may also be downloaded as a PDF on the
web-site. Linda’s company, Linda Barnicott Publishing, LLC, was chosen
as a winner of the prestigious 2006 Forbes® Enterprise Award. Linda was honored
at a luncheon and presentation held on February 5, 2007 at the Frederick P.
Rose Hall at the Home of Jazz At Lincoln Center in New York City. So
well done to Linda, to Margaret Ward and to Wild West Online Productions.
