Anne Austin Pearce

Anne absorbs the energy of her surroundings and experiences, both immediate and ancestral, and translates them into intense and color rich abstractions that capture life’s beauty, absurdity, tests, and revelations. Embellished with collaged elements of paintings created over years of her travels, the work contains multitudes and retells the stories of life’s complicated layers and the bittersweet joy of its journey.

Anne was born in Lawrence, Kansas and studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute, Brighton Polytechnic, UK, and the University of Kansas. In 1993, Anne received a full scholarship to James Madison University, where she received her MFA in drawing and painting. Her work has been acquired by the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art and the Spencer Museum. Exhibitions include Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; Corcoran School of Art and Design, Washington D.C. and the Drawing Center, New York City.
