About

Linda Tien is a gallery director, curator, exhibition producer and visual artist. While Tien’s studio art background originates in metalsmithing and jewelry design, her creative interests reach beyond the bench, extending into mixed media sculpture, performance, video, installation and ultimately, curatorial practice. This progression from art-making to exhibition-making informs her gallery work, where material sensitivity, conceptual nuance and aesthetic experience coalesce. She is committed to sustaining spaces where art can inspire inquisitiveness and prioritizes connection—whether it’s a brief interaction between the viewer and artwork, the collaborative relationships she fosters with artists, the cognitive resonances that emerge long after a visit or friends bonding in the gallery through a shared experience. She is guided by the belief that the connections uniquely enabled by visual art enrich both individual and community experience.
