artist biography

With roots in painting and a deep appreciation for Richmond’s dynamic art community, Linda Jimenez has built a creative life that bridges both fine art and design. After earning a BA in Communication Arts and Design from Virginia Commonwealth University, Linda spent more than two decades as a designer and creative director, working with clients across corporate, government, nonprofit, and small business sectors.

In 2017, she returned to her passion of painting. Building on her background in representational art and creative design, she began exploring the expressive possibilities of abstraction, drawn to its creative freedom and visual energy. Her work reflects a curiosity about color, rhythm, and energy, blending intuitive gesture with thoughtful composition.

Linda’s work is represented by Crossroads Art Center and has been featured in juried exhibitions at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, the VMFA Studio School, the Weinstein JCC, and Crossroads Art Center.
