Notes |
Louisiana painter Linda Trappey Dautreuil was born in New Iberia and has lived most of her life in the southwestern part of the state. In 1984 she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from University of Louisiana, Lafayette. In 1998, Dautreuil received a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Louisiana State Arts Council in recognition of her large-scale mixed media paintings. Primarily a painter whose compositions are based on abstract forms and shapes, Dautreuil has included figurative references and non-linear narrative content in her work since 2001. The materials and processes she favors build surfaces slowly through layers of thin washes and mark making with graphic mediums such as oil crayon, wax pencil, and graphite. Dautreuil has been awarded project grants from St. Tammany Decentralized Art Funding through the Louisiana Division of the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. In 2005, she received the first St. Tammany Parish President's Award for Visual Artist of the year, and her paintings were added to the roster of Louisiana artists nominated to appear on Southern Artistry, a program of the Southern Arts Federation. Her paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the South and in New York, California, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Belgium, and France. Dautreuil's paintings can be found in many public art collections, such as State of Louisiana Public Art Collection, the City of New Orleans Public Art Collection, and the St. Tammany Parish Public Art Collection. Her work is also in the permanent collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Hilliard Art Museum and numerous corporate and private collections. |
