...AND SO IT GOES

Artist: Anne More

Medium: Oil on canvas

40" x 30"

After retiring from teaching art to middle school students, Anne continued to follow her passion for painting. She has sold to private collectors, corporations and works with local businesses to promote the arts in Burlington. 

At this point in time, many of her works are depicting the wonderful green spaces and protected areas throughout the province of Ontario. Her goal is to not only capture the memory, but to continue to bring awareness and appreciation to the viewer of the need to protect these trails for their beauty and importance to our well-being and the environment. She was part of a successful art show entitled “Bruce Trail Inspired” that was a fundraiser for the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Each painting is a “playing with colour” experience.  

Throughout this pandemic, Anne continues to mentor and connect with the members of her workshop groups via Zoom.  

Anne has won several awards that include in part: “Best Cityscape” in the Arabella Canadian Landscape Competition and Creative Burlington, Visual Arts Award 2011. 

Regina Haggo of The Hamilton Spectator in 2011 wrote a full-page article entitled “Sharing Her World in Glorious Colour” in January of 2015. She is represented by the Upstairs Gallery, Milton and the Woodhouse Gallery in Port Dover. 

Artist’s Statement 
Much of my inspiration comes from the beautiful spaces that surround us. The breathtaking views from the escarpment inspire me to share my experiences through the medium of painting. I have to paint. My goal is to pull the viewer in. I love experimenting with a variety of hues and a composition that will hopefully engage people for more than a passing glance. The geology of the wonderful topography also appeals to me. The wonderful geological formations found along the Bruce Trail are often found on my canvases. Over the last few years, I have introduced “a reddish ball” shape. It has been placed there to remind us that when we explore our environment, only leave “your steps” behind.
