Artist: Ann Schaefer
Ann is a plein air artist, gaining inspiration from the places she paints. The
excitement in her work comes from rapid, fresh brushstrokes and color choices to
catch the light of a particular place and time. She works primarily in Maryland, in
Frederick County, the area surrounding Washington, DC, Baltimore, Annapolis and
the Eastern Shore.
A Fine Arts graduate of George Washington University, Ann attended many classes
at the Corcoran School of Art. More recently, Ann has enjoyed, and learned from,
workshops with artists she admires. She pursued a career in Federal environmental
programs after college, painting mostly on weekends and vacations, enjoying
outdoor art experiences. Now that she can devote her time to art, she loves outdoor
painting and hopes that her paintings will be a reminder to viewers of how precious
our environment is to all of us.
Since 2004, she has had numerous solo shows in Washington, DC, Bethesda,
Frederick and Salisbury and has been juried into many plein air events and group
shows in the Washington area, eastern shore of Maryland, Baltimore, Virginia and
Pennsylvania, where her work has often received awards.
Her work is always on view at Gallery 322 in Frederick, MD, and at Gallery 209 at
Artists & Makers Studios in Rockville, MD.
