AART: S2E27 - Anne Blair Brown, Contemporary Impressionist

WiSP

This week the contemporary impressionist Anne Blair Brown. Her work centers on intimate scenes inspired by local surroundings as well as travel in the US and abroad. She says: “My artwork starts in reality and evolves through my imagination. As an impressionist, I believe in a painting process that enables me to tap into my creativity rather than trying to copy and perfect. My goal is to invite you, the viewer, to connect to the painting such that you personalize the experience and use your own imagination to complete the story.” Anne was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island and at the age of four her family moved to Tennessee. Her mother is Rachel Blair, a licensed clinical social worker and caterer, and her father James Brown is a financial advisor. She is the youngest of three children, she has an older brother and sister. Anne attended Saint Henry School and The Harpeth Hall School in Nashville followed by the University of Georgia, and Watkins College of Art & Design, Nashville where she earned an Associate Degree. She began teaching art some 25 years ago and offers online courses and workshops for painters of all skill levels. Her in-person sessions take place at Bluebird Hill Retreat in Santa Fe, TN. Anne lives in Nashville, TN with her husband the impressionist & abstract artist, Trey Finney.
