7 th Annual AIS Impressions: Small Works Showcase Awards Judge: AIS Master Member Anne Blair Brown

Anne Blair Brown was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island and was raised in Nashville, Tennessee where she currently lives. Her work centers on in�mate scenes inspired by local surroundings as well as travel in the US and abroad. “My artwork starts in reality and evolves through my imagin a�on. As an impressionist, I believe in a pain�ng process that enables me to tap into my crea�vity rather than trying to copy and perfect. My goal is to invite you, the viewer, to connect to the pain�ng such that you personalize the experience and use your own imagina�on to complete the story.”

Anne is a Master Member of the American Impressionist Society, a Signature Member of The Oil Painters of America, and past president of the Plein Air Painters of the Southeast. She is also an ac�ve member of The Chestnut Group , a nonprofit group of ar�sts dedicated to preserving endangered ecosystems, historic locales, and aesthe�cally and environmentally significant places. Anne offers online courses and in -person workshops for painters of all skill levels. Her in-person sessions take place at Bluebird Hill Retreat , a picturesque pain�ng des�na�on and ar�sts’ retreat in beau�ful Santa Fe, TN, about 40 minutes south of Nashville.

During the opening week in Knoxville, Anne will teach two workshops, present a painting demo, provide critiques , and select award winners f or the Small Works Showcase and Wet Wall Exhibition. Learn more about Anne Blair Brown AISM
