ABOUT ANNE
Anne Hudec SFCA enjoys painting in her home studio in Victoria, BC, Canada. In February 2010 she was elected to Senior Signature Status (SFCA), with the Federation of Canadian Artists. Anne’s subject matter comes naturally to her, as she is repeatedly drawn to the statuary she encounters during her travels, whether they are located in parks, castle gardens, on buildings, bridges or in cemeteries. Her painting style is influenced by her exposure to British watercolourists of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and the sensitivity, colouration and symbolism portrayed in the works of the Pre-Raphaelites. Anne regularly exhibits her paintings through various juried art shows in the region, as well as being a juror for numerous shows on the West Coast. Her works can be found in collections in Austria, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, Germany, Grand Cayman, Italy, Japan and the USA. Website: http://www.annehudec.com |
