About the Item

“Anne Weary, who grew up as a Texas cowgirl, is at home in the outdoors and knows its ways and its language. There is a sort of very quiet but very powerful mysticism in her work, a sense of presence that goes quite beyond words,” writes poet and University of Texas at Dallas professor Frederick Turner in the American Arts Quarterly. Anne Weary’s studio is the outdoors and her drawings express a spiritual reverence for nature. On her land in Italy, Texas, she sets up a table in the woods, along the creek, or in a pasture, and makes finished drawings on site with graphite, charcoal, or conte. A drawing can take up to two months, one at a time, and Anne hopes the seasons don’t change her subject. Anne Weary says, "Where I draw is the home and world of the animals--deer, foxes, coyotes, rabbits, armadillos, and wild pigs—and of course birds. They’re all around somewhere when I’m drawing quietly and my land is a safe habitat for them. I cannot resist the beauty and atmosphere of the woods-unspoiled and untouched by humankind." In 2008, Anne Weary left Texas for a three year sabbatical in Southern California where she began drawing in Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve with red conté, a departure from the black charcoal and graphite of her meticulous drawings of Texas creekbeds and favorite trees. Anne Weary was born in Dallas, and Texas land has inspired her art for most of her life. She began studying with Dallas artist Olin Travis at age 12. In 1979, she earned a 4-year certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where she studied with Lou Sloan. Her focus was on drawing and she was awarded two prizes for excellence in drawing. Valley House founder Donald Vogel mentored Anne Weary and we have represented her since 1987. Her drawings are in the collections of the Arkansas Arts Center, Dallas Museum of Art, El Paso Museum of Art, The Grace Museum, San Antonio Museum of Art, and Tyler Museum of Art. This was drawn with sanguine conté crayon on Bristol board. The paper size is 10 1/16 x 16 1/4 inches. The overall dimensions including the frame are 20 5/8 x 26 3/4 inches.
