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.
