| Ballet Folklorico Between Spring Showers by Anna Lancaster |
Come see Anna's artistic development as an oil painter of realistic form with a contemporary flair.
Anna Lancaster was born in
New Jersey and moved to Oregon in 1991, at the same time she made the decision
to shift her career focus from graphic illustration and design to professional
fine artist. She enjoys diverse styles of creative expression including
portraiture, contemporary and plein air landscape, painting in oils. Anna has
expanded her contemporary art to include vibrant mixed media using watercolor,
soft pastel, oil impasto and acrylics. Anna identifies herself as a, “Beautiful
Art Revivalist.” She markets her work under the auspices of her company, Anna
Lancaster Fine Art. She has sold and exhibited in Oregon since 1995. Anna works
and resides with her family in Tualatin, Oregon.
The artist’s vibrant
contemporary portraits, landscapes, seascapes and still life reflect the
influence of her Oregon experience. Anna was originally trained in traditional
realism, a style which she often returns to for her commissioned portraits. The
artist began developing her vibrant, highly textured style from her experience
as a regular exhibiting artist of both Onda Galleries in Lake Oswego and on
Alberta Street, Portland.
Her area gallery
associations include exhibitions at such as the former Onda Galleries; Forever
Art in the Pearl; the Gresham Visual Arts Gallery in Gresham where she has
received this year’s Mayor’s Choice award for her mixed media piece Warm
Gathering and the Juror’s Choice award for her oil painting Cannon Beach
Evening Sentinels during the Gresham Arts Committee Annual Juried
Exhibition. Anna is also a member and
regular exhibitor at the Emerald Art Center in Spring Field, Oregon.
She has regularly
exhibited in area art fairs and festivals including, The Lake Oswego Arts &
Crafts show at George Rogers Park, Willamette Festival of the Arts at
Willamette Park, Tualatin Art Splash at the Tualatin Commons, the former
Tualatin Studio Tour, Washington County Artist Studio Tour and the Christmas
and Spring in the Country Bazaars at the Clackamas county Fair Grounds.
Recently, Anna has
directed her observational painting skills as a member of the Clackamas County
Plein Air Painters. She has fallen in love with many of the breathtaking scenic
opportunities of the Oregon landscape including the spectacular views
approaching Mount Hood and on the Oregon Coast. Participating in local plein
air painting challenges and venues has become a regular discipline for the
artist.
