On Thursday June 6, Linda Stein, whose environmental sculptures and multi-media shows have drawn rave reviews, opens an exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. 

Stein holds a Master's Degree from the Pratt Institute and has studied at the Arts Students League of the School of Visual Arts.

She has exhibited at the Gallery of the Borough President, David Dinkins, Mayor of New York, NY.

The American Contemporary Women Artists Exhibit in Washington, DC included sculptures by Stein.

Her sculptures are stark and primitive shapes embedded with magnesium, copper, aluminum and brass.  They suggest ceremonial objects from a mythic civilization or an invented tribe and seem to be excavated rather than sculpted.

In her most recent New York City exhibit "Blades in New York:  An Environment Transcending Destruction", she utilized steel machete blades and transformed them into fragile, graceful shapes which were suspended from the ceiling.

They invoked feelings of birds flying, or tools and musical instruments floating in the air. This multimedia exhibit was later shown at Fairleigh Dickenson University in New Jersey and the University for the Arts in Philadelphia.  For exhibit information call the Boca Raton Museum of Art at (407) 392-2500.
