About the Artist

Anne Ireland is a native New Yorker who has lived in Maine since 1984. She earned her BA from Bowdoin College in 1976 and BFA with honors from Maine College of Art in 1994. She has exhibited in galleries throughout the Northeast and her work can be found in both private and corporate collections in the US and Europe. ''My paintings are the result of observation informed by imagination - a place where the iconic is seen in the emotional context of mystery and surprise. There is a powerful energy when sky meets ground. To intensify that connection I strive to create a psychologically nuanced atmosphere with unexpected color, giving it depth and consequence.''
