About the Artist

                                     About Anna B. Webb

           Anna Webb’s career has gradually evolved from architectural and interior
           design, to film and set design, to graphic design, to painting.  In 1994, the
           diagnosis of a degenerative eye disease gave urgency to pursuing her
           life-long love of fine art.  Soon after, faced with several weeks alone as her
           husband traveled in Brazil, she re-acquainted herself with the old brushes
           and paints that had been in storage since her college art classes.

           Her subject matter demonstrates an appreciation of architectural elements
           from her days practicing design.  She also draws heavily from her travels;
           the sights, the people, the sensory details.  The colors are bold and vibrant,
           the edges clean and sharp.  Rarely does she create a canvas without a
           figurative element, characters that beg the observer to ask, “Who is this
           person?  Why are they there?  What are they thinking?”  They are not
           out-of-focus suggestions of people, but individuals, rich and detailed.  The
           streets, buildings and rooms in her work are real places where people live
           and work and play.  You are drawn into the canvases to experience the
           colorful textures, tastes, smells, and sounds along with her subjects.

           These days Anna’s time is also occupied by her publication, Nashville
           Calendar of the arts.  Exciting new treatments promise to one day cure the
           eye condition that caused her to pick up her paint brushes again.  Relaxation
           comes in the form of home and garden projects where she “paints” with
           building materials and plants.  Her musician husband and many pets give
           her focus, inspiration and even subject matter.
