Anne Wolfer – Keep Your Still Life Alive through Disruption (Online)
Watch or paint along as Anne Wolfer creates a still life painting using surface disruption as a deliberate strategy to keep the work dynamic and alive!
Art has been a guiding constant for Anne Wolfer since childhood. Born in Salt Lake City and raised in coastal Connecticut, Anne has always found solace in nature. Whether hiking or sailing on Long Island Sound, she has long been captivated by the shifting light and color of the outdoors.
Anne earned her BA from the University of Utah before spending a decade in San Francisco working in educational publishing, all while maintaining a dedicated artistic practice. Living abroad in Vienna and Munich, surrounded by centuries of art and architecture, further fueled her artistic growth. Returning to Utah, she studied with several respected professional artists, further developing both her painting and her passion for teaching.
For the past ten years, Anne has been an influential visual arts educator at Rowland Hall, while also teaching private and group lessons in her Salt Lake City studio. Her contemporary painting style strikes a balance between dimensionality and abstraction, and she is known for her expressive use of color, light, and mark-making. Anne’s work is held in private collections across the U.S. and internationally, and she is proudly represented by 15th Street Gallery in Salt Lake City.

Tremendous. Am definitely going to try more active disruption! Thank you to Anne for sharing this and also to Martha for making these videos available to those of us who weren’t able to attend the event live. Much appreciated.
So good watching the paint go on and the colour mixing. Worth watching even if you’re not into the disruption, as most of the demo takes place before that is introduced. Anne has a lot to offer and I’m inspired to do a class with her.
Margaret, do the class with Anne. I’ve been in all of her classes and I have found that the marks you can make from disruption are some of the most interesting and can’t be made any other way. While my disruptions are still subtle, I still feel that Anne has pushed me to the next level. She is very good at analyzing ways to make your paintings better at whatever level of disruption you choose to do. Unfortunately, I will be on the road during her next class so won’t be able to attend but I will look for more classes with her in the future. If nothing else, go and have some fun.
Thank you so much Martha as you are most generous. I love Winslow art and the artists you feature and share with all us artists to see and enjoy and learn from.

Have been smitten with Anne’s work since her first Art Chat with Winslow.
