About Ann E. Bianchi

For as long as I can remember...

Art has been a way for me to share who I am.

My parents recognized my early passion for art and signed me up for lessons when I turned 9 , which I continued with into high school. I was blessed to have taken these Saturday morning lessons from a very energetic artist who had just relocated his family to Rhode Island from California. He not only taught me classical oil painting and pastel techniques, but more importantly taught me to “see" the subjects I painted with an "artist's eye". As an art teacher of adults today, I encourage my students to do the same. I'm happiest working in Acrylics, Pencils, Oil Pastels and Mixed Media. I enjoy accepting painting commissions for that special original gift. Some favorite suggestions are pet portraits and vacation destinations. If I can create that unique painting for you, it would be my pleasure.

Inspirational Statement

I'm blessed to be on this journey of creation each day of my life, painting and sharing my artwork, as well as teaching amazing artists I meet every day.

As I continue my journey as a painter creatively representing subjects of nature and history, I need not go too far to find inspiration. I am motivated by first morning early light, a late evening sunset, a beautiful song, animals, and all things historical. My favorite art styles of the 19th century are Impressionism and Barbizon. I'm happiest painting gardens of perennials, old stone walls, woodland scenes, and saltwater locations. I also enjoy working in a Non-objective style of painting, focusing on inspirational color theories. Green represents the color of life and Purple is the royal color from nature. Together they fill me with calming sensations.

Creating art is extremely therapeutic for me because painting is my way of preserving and sharing scenes for others to enjoy. I'm pleased to note that my work is featured at Wickford Art Association and South County Art Association in Rhode Island. In addition, I'm presently teaching a variety of classes to adults at both associations. Please enjoy a visual tour of my work by visiting my website: annebianchi.com for special commission requests, scheduling entertaining painting events, and for educational demonstrations. It is my hope that my paintings provide you with relaxing and calming feelings!

Creatively Encouraging Peace through Art,
