Since receiving her B.F.A. in painting from Mass College of Art in 1974, Linda Lichtman has applied a painter's methods and goals to stained and flat glass. She began her studies with Patrick Reyntiens in 1973 at Burleighfield House in England and apprenticed to other glass artists in the U.K., Canada and Germany. She continued studies at the Museum School in Boston. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Lichtman has maintained a studio in Cambridge, MA since 1978. In 1995 Lichtman taught at the AusGlass conference in Adelaide and Melbourne and has taught several times at Bildwerk Frauenau in Germany. She curated "The Glass Canvas" for the Society of Arts and Crafts in Boston and for The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in Ontario as well as the exhibition "Challenging Tradition: New Work in Stained Glass" in the United States. Her work has appeared in several solo exhibitions in the U.S. and the U.K. as well as group exhibitions in the U.S., Germany, Wales, Iceland, Ireland, Austria, France, Canada and Japan. Lichtman works in the field of public art, creating site-specific works for civic buildings as well as buildings in the private sector. Her work also includes "autonomous" glass paintings.
