Linda Cersosimo is a multidisciplinary visual artist and committed arts educator whose work is rooted in a lifelong engagement with the natural world. Born in Boston, MA, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Science in Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Over a 36year career as an art specialist in the Billerica, MA public schools, Linda developed curriculum, led studio programs, and mentored generations of young artists. She currently teaches fine art courses as an adjunct professor in the Fine Arts Department at Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth, NH, where she was honored with the President’s Award for Outstanding Adjunct Professor in 2019.

Linda works across painting, printmaking, and mixed media, including oil, acrylic, encaustic, watercolor, collage, monotype, etching, and silkscreen. The natural world is her primary source of inspiration; she frequently paints en plein air to record transient light, color, and compositional surprises. Her process blends intuitive color choices with careful observation producing work that conveys a personal connection to place, time, and season. Linda’s artwork ranges from delicate studies to commanding large works. 

In addition to her artistic and teaching practice, Linda has experience curating art exhibitions, organizing arts programming, and serving on boards of directors for arts organizations. Her work has been shown in galleries and public spaces throughout New England and is represented at Gallery 302 in Bridgton, ME. She continues to teach, exhibit, and contribute to the cultural life of her community.

Linda’s work has been exhibited in galleries, businesses, and public spaces throughout New England and Florida. She is an exhibiting member of Gallery 302 in Bridgton, ME, where a selection of her paintings and prints is presently on view. Her work has appeared in group and solo exhibitions across the region and is included in private collections.

Teaching remains central to Linda’s practice. After retiring from K–12 education, she embraced collegelevel instruction and community arts education, bringing decades of classroom experience to her students. She leads studio and art history courses, critiques, and handson workshops that emphasize process, material fluency, and observational art making. Her approach encourages students to develop a personal visual language while mastering traditional and experimental techniques.

Linda’s art work is on view at Gallery 302 in Bridgton, ME where she is an exhibiting member. She has exhibited her art in galleries and business throughout New England. You can email Linda at lindacersosimo@gmail.com, or visit her website at www.lindacersosimo.com.
