Featured Artist… Anne Blair Brown!

“Little Shack” by Anne Blair Brown

Anne Blair Brown is a fantastic artist. I am impressed with her loose style. We saw her work in person recently when she was part of a “40 & Under” show at Smith Killian Gallery in Charleston, SC, she was joined by an artist friend of ours, Colin Page. If you’re in Charleston, SC pop in the gallery and check out her work, otherwise check out her website! This looks like a neat little place we’ve gone for dinner, Crosby’s Seafood… it’s not a restaurant, but on occasion they will have dinner on the dock (check the link for their Facebook page, it will let you know when they do it!)and it’s splendid, and when there’s a sunset… BREATHTAKING! 

If, by chance, you’re considering taking a workshop, Anne gives some workshops that sound WONDERFUL! Check it out! Info on her website!

About the Artist

Anne Blair Brown was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island and currently resides in Nashville, TN. Her work centers on both rural and urban landscapes, people, and interior spaces. While she enjoys the quiet solitude of her studio, she delights in painting “en plein air” when possible. Brown says, “Painting on location creates an intimacy with the subject that informs my studio work. It heightens my sense of spontaneity, and that energy is translated to the canvas.”

From a postcard from Smith Killian Gallery:

Every now and then a seasoned artist needs to reach and stretch and push their work to a new level. It is the exhilaration of going “out on a limb”.
