About the Artist
Linda McCann

Linda McCann is a full-time artist working and living between Dublin and Grand Cayman. She returned to study fine art as a mature student at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and was awarded Fine Art Student of the Year and the National University of Ireland Award for Excellence. McCann has exhibited throughout Ireland, most notably at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Hang Tough and The Visual, Carlow. She has also been published in the Irish Arts Review and was written about by Niall Macmonagle for the Irish Independent. Primarily working as a painter, her work often incorporates ink, acrylic and oil paint in layers that both hide and reveal a history of washes and mark-making. Her practice represents an investigation into the physical dimension of painting, as well as the less attractive stages of the creative process. Her work was recently featured at the National Gallery in Conversations with the Past in the Present Tense: 3rd Cayman Islands Biennial (2023) and is held in NGCI’s permanent collection.
