Linda Day (1952-2011)

Linda A. Day (1952-2011) was an American abstract painter. She emerged in the late stages of postwar American abstract expressionist painting in New York in the 1970's and 1980's. Having taught and exhibited her work for more than three decades (late 1970s until 2011), she spanned multiple generations of painters while continuing to produce vital and ever-changing new work. She relocated to California in 1992 where she resided and worked in Venice Beach, West Los Angeles and Sacramento. Day was a tenured professor at California State University, Long Beach, and had a home and studio in San Pedro, California.
