Anne Siems

Today I'm busy trying to make sure I have all the elements in order for my workshop in Greenville tomorrow! (There is still time to join-see here!) So I'll leave you for the weekend with the incredible paintings of Anne Siems. I fell in love with her work years ago when her works on paper were featured in New American Paintings. Her paintings have evolved in the years since then...here is a small snapshot of the progression. Visit her website for a more complete view with additional detail shots (her details are exquisite!) xo

wow she is great!
I love the textures and attention to detail, she reminds me of an early Dali but with darker tones mixed with a touch of Frida Kohl. Very Inspiring!
