An artist with an education in psychology, Anne T. Nielsen brings a wide range of experience and deep meaning to her art.
She has always been creative, and started as a self-taught metal artist, before volunteering as theater art director and painter of full stage backdrops. Desiring to expand her understanding and knowledge of painting techniques, she studied old master style portraiture, still life and plein aire landscape painting, along with symbolism and emotionalism. By working through these different genres, she developed an ability to see the nuances of color, light, value, and edge treatment.
Her newest work fits no conventional genre, but is a mixture of abstracted ideas utilizing the careful glazes, brush strokes, and techniques of old master portraiture. She steps outside accepted artistic boundaries for deeper psychological and spiritual meanings. She brings this fresh new approach of combining masterful techniques with deeper spiritual meanings to Abstracted style.
In 2003 Anne won first place in a national competition earning a one-woman show in Pittsburgh. Her one-woman show in Colorado was one of the most successful held. She took home third place honors at the Punta Gorda Florida national competition. She has had an honorable mention in a Hilton Head South Carolina national art competition, and has won several local honors where she is a member of two local art guilds and has both taught and critiqued art students. She has had paintings shown in the office of the Georgia Governor, the South Carolina Senate offices, and two New York City galleries, the Denver CO area and Reims France. She was in Stack’lr Gallery in Sedan France. She is represented by Art on Broad Art Gallery in Augusta GA.
