LINDA BOBINGER

---

Linda earned both a Masters in Art Education and Masters in Fine Arts (focusing on ceramics) from Georgia Southern University in Statesboro Georgia. She taught art in the Camden County school system in Georgia. After thirty-one years of teaching art she retired and presently lives in Darien, Georgia, where she continues her career as a professional sculptor.

Linda Bobinger's artistry transcends time, opening a window into her creative evolution from the past to the present. A defining characteristic of her work is the seamless progression of influences from her earlier sculptures to her current creations. Central to her artistic exploration, her work has been the enduring inspiration drawn from Henri Matisse's timeless masterpiece, "The Joy of Life."  Renowned for his vibrant compositions and expressive use of color, Matisse's paintings have served as a muse for Bobinger throughout her career. Particularly resonant are Matisse's depictions of female figures, which have captivated Bobinger's imagination and found expression in her sculptures. Embracing Matisse's philosophy of simplifying form into essential lines and shapes, Bobinger's work exudes a sense of vitality and exuberance.
