Linda Schwab is a British painter based in Yorkshire. She earned her BA in Fine Art from the University of Central Lancashire and an MA in Painting from the Slade School of Fine Art. Throughout her career, she has worked as an illustrator, educator, and public artist, and has now returned to painting full-time.

Schwab's creative process involves two main categories: 'recent events,' inspired by life or mobile phone photos, and 'recreated events,' based on archive or found photographs. This approach allows her to capture something mysterious and unknown, often depicting subjects seen at a distance and committed to memory.

Schwab's paintings often explore themes of memory, nostalgia, and the transient nature of human experience. By blending contemporary and nostalgic elements, she creates evocative, dreamlike environments that encourage viewers to reflect on their own memories and experiences.

Schwab has made significant contributions to public art, with installations in various locations, including Newcastle Cathedral, Alder Hey in the Park, and the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital. Her work in these settings aims to enhance environments through high-quality contemporary art and design.

Linda Schwab’s work is regularly exhibited at Contemporary Six, a leading independent gallery based in both Manchester and Hale. These galleries showcase a range of her paintings, allowing visitors to see her distinctive, dreamlike compositions up close.
