Early life and education

Ridgway was born in Jeffersonville, Indiana. She received a B.F.A. from the Louisville School of Art and an M.F.A. from Tulane University.

Career

Ridgway has participated in various solo and group exhibitions including Linda Ridgway: A Survey, Poetics of Form at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas and the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas in 1997 and 1998; and One Hundred Years: The Permanent Collection of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.

Ridgway was trained as a printmaker, but is best known for her delicate sculptures based on plants and clothing.[1] The vine-like bronze sculpture The Dance demonstrates this synthesis of bronze and plants.

Weisman Art Foundation (Los Angeles) are among the public collections holding works by Linda Ridgway.[2]
