Hale Linnet
they/them
Hale Linnet (they/them) is a Maine-based figurative painter and sculptor who creates socially
conscious work around themes of bodily autonomy, gender, pleasure, and self-excavation. Hale
holds a degree in Public Health, and uses their experiences in community organizing and
abortion access to inform their art-making practice. They create collaborative art and have
received grants from the Maine Arts Commission and National Endowment for the Arts for
community sculpture projects centering the diverse lived experiences of menstruating bodies.
Hale currently lives in South Portland, and works out of their studio in Space538 of downtown
Portland. In addition to their studio practice, Hale teaches trauma-informed yoga to queer youth
and works with unhoused teens.
