-Linda grew up in New York City,
going to museums, galleries and theatre with her parents,
who collected art and supported artists.
So she was bitten by the art bug at a young age.
Once in Seattle, Linda worked as an art consultant,
co-directed the Fountain Gallery,
and in 1983, opened Hodges/Banks Gallery,
which eventually became Linda Hodges.
In her 40 years as a gallery owner, Linda has represented
prominent West
Coast artists with strong national reputations,
including Kurt Solmssen, Lucinda Parker
and the late great Alfredo.
Again,
Linda has also been a relentless champion
of younger artists such as Klara Glosova,
Ryan Molenkamp, and Lisa Golightly.
Linda's final exhibition
features paintings by renowned artist Gaylen Hansen,
who has been with the gallery for 38 years.
June 28 is the gallery's last day, so plan
your visit soon.
Hours and location are at lindahodgesgallery.com.
