Linda Tharp is an abstract painter living and working in New York City.
Originally from coastal Connecticut with significant time spent in Five Islands, Maine, Tharp’s sense of color and space originate in the experience of landscape where bays, small coves and tidal rivers are framed by land and filled with reflected light.  After graduating the Cooper Union in 1982 Tharp embarked on a period of living and travel in Europe, residing and painting in the city of Amsterdam. Returning to settle permanently in New York in 1990, Tharp established a studio in Brooklyn, currently in Red Hook.
