PROFILE

Linda Lanza practices and teaches expressive writing arts to find meaning through imagination. From her studio, Talk With My Hands, Linda makes art, writes, and hosts the Inkwings Writing Adventure, now in its fourth year. She holds a degree in English Literature with highest honors from Rutgers University and certification from Smithsonian Institution/National Gallery of Art to teach critical thinking through art. Post graduate work includes 440 hours of training with Dr. Sherry Reiter, RPT for her credential as a therapeutic writing specialist.

Linda is author of three books of poems and a fourth work in progress. She received the National Association for Poetry Therapy’s Distinguished Service Award for her work as creative director and editor of its newsletter publication The Museletter. Linda classically trained in calligraphy and painting with Mary Lou Cook, Dick Beasley, Jenny Hunter Groat, Thomas Ingmire, Friedrich Neugebauer, Karlgeorg Hoefer, Jacqueline Svaren, David Mekelburg, Peter Thornton and many others. She is left-handed.

For over 30 years Linda’s award-winning work has been published and exhibited including Off the Cuffs from Soft Skull Press, Mosaic, Pudding 34, The Artful Letter calendars published by Universe Press, Letter Arts Review, the Richard Beasley National Invitational Exhibition, and INCIPIT Circolo Calligrafia Italiana in Trieste, Italy.

When she is not teaching or writing, Linda enjoys listening to music, reading, making calligraphic art, textile and fiber arts, and walking outdoors. She has three children and one grandchild. Linda resides in New Jersey in a home filled with books and a cat halfway between a river and an ocean.
