ANNE GIFFORD FINE ARTIST

Anne began her career as a silkscreen artist.  After 25 years of printmaking, she now works with watercolor where she builds successive layers of color to create her vibrant, rich, and detailed paintings.   She has lived in Boulder since 1976 and finds inspiration in the natural beauty of Colorado.  On her many walks and hikes throughout the area, Anne is always on the lookout for new imagery.  Light, shadows, rocks, water, mountains, canyons, wildlife and whimsy are all part of Anne’s subject matter as she brings her own unique vision to her work.

“When I create a landscape sometimes I feel as though I am recording the natural beauty surrounding us for future generations.  I hope my viewer will experience the happiness I felt as I painted it.”

Anne is an award winning artist and the eight time poster artist for the Bolder Boulder 10K Memorial Day Race, one of the largest road races in the United States. She has received commissions to commemorate noteworthy occasions for both the City of Boulder and Boulder County.
Anne additionally enjoys teaching watercolor classes at the East Boulder Senior Center in Boulder.

One of the most rewarding aspects of her long career is that she has had the opportunity to bring joy into the lives of others with her artwork
