Sierra Art Trails Artist of the Month   

 

Stellar Gallery showcases one Sierra Art Trails artist each month.  

February’s artist of the month is Pastel Artist

 

 Anne McClure

Anne McClure paints a variety of subjects including Western and historical scenes, animals, nature, still life, and portraiture. Anne works in a realistic style, softened by a gestured freedom in the details of the work. Her works are colorful, expertly rendered, and confident in composition and form. Although working with pastels is her current passion, she is also an accomplished oil painter. Her extensive experience in art and design allows her to excel in any medium.

 

Anne is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America, the Pastel Society of the West Coast and the Alliance of California Artists. She has been published in “The Best of Pastel”, the “International Pastel Artist” and the “Pastel Journal”. Her work may also be seen in her home studio Gallery in Ahwahnee, California.

 

 Anne’s work will be on display @ Stellar Gallery starting Feb. 8th.
