Anne Gifford | Watercolor & Silkscreen | “My Favorites”
Anne began her career as a silkscreen artist. After 25 years of printmaking, she now works with watercolor where she builds successive layers of color to create her vibrant, rich, and detailed paintings. She has lived in Boulder since 1976 and finds inspiration in the natural beauty of Colorado. On her many walks and hikes throughout the area, Anne is always on the lookout for new imagery. Light, shadows, rocks, water, mountains, canyons, wildlife and whimsy are all part of Anne’s subject matter and she brings her own unique vision to her work. She will be exhibiting her ‘My Favorite Paintings’ for the month of April.
She is an award winning artist and the eight time poster artist for the Bolder Boulder 10K Memorial Day Race, one of the largest road races in the United States.
It is her intent for those who view her art to experience the happiness she felt as she created each of her paintings.
Molly Hargarten | Watercolor, Oil, Fused Glass, Mosaic | “aLINEment”
As an artist, it is my calling to act as an intermediary. I see & appreciate beauty, create a piece of art from the encounter and pass it along to its rightful owner. I liken it to keeping the cycles and rhythms of the natural world available to all.
Lately, I have been experimenting with oil paint and use of line, bold color and abstraction/stylization. I call it my ‘aLINEment’ period. I was thinking about the fact that line has become so prevalent in my paintings of late and decided this change in style is a response to the angst of the world and our country. Staying ‘within the lines’ helps make me feel less anxious while I enjoy the painting process.
I now am available for private lessons.
Reception for Anne & Molly, April 14, 4:30-6:30. Refreshments served.
