Linda Armantrout has a BA in Studio Art from The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, where she received a good art history foundation from John Alcott
and John Sloan and studied painting with Black Mountain College abstract
expressionists.
Later, Linda studied with Edith Niblo, John Lencicki, Jim Valone,
and Chuck Ceraso. Her lineage includes Maitland Graves, Hans Hofmann,
Charles Hawthorne, Monet.
Linda taught at Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design
for nearly a decade. She has taught basic design for corporations,
at Louisville Center for the Arts, and in her Studio.
Your art process and your spiritual process are intertwined. In each
of these classes you will learn how you can use the elements and apply
the principles of design to make strong, personal visual statements.
The art process is an integration of your life, the whole process of living.
Your artwork itself, the finished piece, is secondary to your process. This process
that goes on before the artist works, separates the artist from the non-artist.
It is who you are, what you are, and what you think that counts. Join these classes
for a journey of self-discovery
that will lead you to find your own path as an artist.
The timelessness you experience, while you make art, will feed your soul.
Your soul will feed your art.
I am so thrilled for my art student, Nicole Fox, America's Next
Top Model! Nicole's intelligence, integrity, and hard work led to a
win last night on ANTM on the CW network.
Nicole worked hard in classes in my studio and made excellent work
for 3 years. She was offered an art scholarship to University of Denver,
and chose to study art at the University of Colorado to collaborate with
her sister, Alexandra, a theatre student. Nicole continues to grow in her
art process at CU.
She told me she applied the elements and principles that she
learned in our classes to the work she did on America's Next Top Model.
That is great feedback for me because I believe and teach that whatever
your media, these classes will improve your aesthetic and your work.
Susannah Van Dyke, artist and teacher, had this to say:
"Linda's design classes opened my eyes to a more creative
approach to my art. I found the instruction very inspiring and
began to apply it to my work. I became aware of the infinite
possibilities of using art as a tool to explore my inner life. I
experimented with different principles as applied to the elements
and I began winning prizes for my paintings.
I learned so much about
composition and art history.
I highly recommend Linda's class to all artists. You'll never be at a loss
of how to proceed or what to create."

Deb Kloor, artist and craniosacral therapist, sends this:
"For me, Linda's classes were my place to go where I was able to do
artistic exploration combined with self exploration
like I did nowhere else. I learned how
creating art can be important for healing as I was
navigating my journey through divorce. It was as if I was
entering another world for a couple of hours each week,
free from the stress of daily living
where all possibilities opened to me." Deb Kloor
