Tom Linker

TOM LINKER (1936 - ): Tom Linker is an American painter from Pennsylvania known for his landscapes and still-life paintings. Born in 1936, he has drawn much of his subject matter from the rural scenery and waterways of eastern Pennsylvania, particularly Bucks and Montgomery Counties, as well as the broader landscapes of the eastern seaboard. His work reflects a deep appreciation for the countryside, the sea, and the changing effects of light and atmosphere. Linker works in both oil and pastel and has also explored mixed-media and abstract approaches. His paintings include views of the Delaware and Raritan Canals, Bucks County roads and landscapes, New England scenery, and floral still lifes. In later work, Linker has incorporated greater abstraction and expressive experimentation, describing his artistic process as a continuing conversation between the artist and the work. His paintings have been exhibited in galleries including Sandra Phillips Gallery and Spark Gallery and have appeared in the American art market and private collections.
