Anne Gordon Fritz, Artist

Anne has been painting since she was a child having been enrolled in a watercolor class at age four. she studied classic art history, interior design and architecture in a small private college in California.  Anne has used skills learned in those classes and further art classes in Chicago where she earned a BGS Degree in Studio Art in 1976.

 

In 2001, Anne ventured into painting on silk with Sennelier silk dyes. She loved painting with this medium for 20 years and was quite successful at it. Currently she paints with watercolors, and acrylics.  Anne enjoys using Gesso to create abstract images within realistic scenes. She also uses Cyanotype on watercolor paper.  Anne often uses watercolors over the Cyanotypes to enhance a design.  

 

Anne says “I enjoy painting our New Mexico native plants and skies, but also waterscapes.  My paintings have been exhibited in local, state, and national exhibitions.”
