Colour in Your Life featured artist Ann Hart appeared on Colour In Your Life Season Twenty (20)
Read a little bit about the artist here, and support our site by joining and watching the episode below.
Ann Hart grew up in Pennsylvania as the youngest of 4. Ann's mother was an avid antique
collector and would take her along to auctions and her favorite shops out in the
country. At that time treasures and bargains could still be found. In Ann's family we all love and appreciate old things with character, from cars to furniture, from quilts to clocks. There was always a project going on, sewing or furniture refinishing, fruit canning or gardening.
Ann sees the influence in her work - she is drawn to rusty surfaces and wood grain. Ann spent summers as a young person on a small lake, up close and personal with lots of wildlife and plants. That kind of subject matter also figures large for her, the natural world is fascinating and packed with detail and magical light.
Ann Hart has been focused on painting for about 15 years now. While she has other creative and “crafty” pursuits, she tries not to get distracted because watercolor is it for Ann, challenging and beautiful, with still so much to learn.
Old things and the natural world will always have Ann reaching for her camera. Cape Cod is a lovely place to live and while she has painted lots of local scenes over the years it inspires her more for the community these days. In a 30 mile radius there is 6 art centers and museums, each of which has exhibits and performances going on.
Ann Hart doesn’t have any formal training as an artist, however she has taken workshops with some of the finest contemporary watercolorists including Mary Whyte, John Salminen, Paul Jackson, Antonio Masi. From each of those teachers Ann came away with some nugget of approach or technique. Mostly she learned that if you want to improve, you have to practice and pay attention to what works and why.
Ann Hart is represented by Gallery Antonia, 1291 Main Street, Chatham, MA. The gallery
hosts many events from show openings to using the space as a venue for private
parties and book signings. It’s important for a gallery to be connected to the community
and Gallery Antonia and Domonic Boreffi, the owner, always go the extra mile for artists.
