Anne Blair Brown was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island and was raised in Nashville, Tennessee where she currently lives. He r 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 imagina�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 onlin e 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.
