It is with distinct honor and a heavy heart that Bill Hodges Gallery presents Linda Touby, a commemorative exhibition in celebration of a talented abstract expressionist and dear friend of the gallery.
Born with a penchant for art, Touby began attending night and weekend classes at Pratt Institute to hone her skills at the age of eleven but had been creatively experimenting with clay, wood and other natural materials for years prior. In adulthood, Touby continued her studies at the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts and Art Students League in New York City, where she met one of her mentors, abstract expressionist and founder of the New York School of painting, Richard Pousette-Dart (1916 – 1992).
