Since 1967, Linda Gissen has created ornamental and functional art works of metal, glass, enamel, and watercolor. Her works reside in museums and in corporate, liturgical and private collections nationwide.

Drawing from her Jewish heritage and animated by her studies of indigenous art of dozens of countries, Gissen informs her works with spirit — sometimes a spirit of awe and reverence, sometimes of wry playfulness.

Maintaining an independent studio since 1967 and as an award winning artist, Gissen has presented numerous workshops and lectures, including:  the Muscarelle Museum, Williamsburg, VA; Bergen Community Museum, Paramus, NJ; Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA; Bloomingdales, NJ & NY. She has taught artist-in-residence programs and served as an independent consultant, curator, juror, and judge in fields of art, fine crafts, and Judaica.

Gissen has studied ethnic art and indigenous cultures in over 40 countries.
