Anne Gibson
"Smith Rock Pinnacles" - Original Contemporary Painting on Canvas

21st Century

About the Item

"Smith Rock Pinnacles" - Original Contemporary Painting on Canvas A mountainous peak, Smith Rock Pinnacles, is depicted in brilliantly contrasting colors of sepia tones against a blue sky with soft, wispy clouds by Oregon-based artist, Anne Gibson (American, b. 1960). This massive volcanic formation of tall colorful spires and cliffs is located outside the town of Terrebonne, Oregon, approximately 30 miles north of Bend. Signed in the bottom right corner, "A. Gibson" On verso, "A. Gibson - Smith Rock Pinnacles" Size: 24"H x 24"W x 1.5"D Gibson, Anne (American, b. 1960) conveys the force and tranquility of Central Oregon, the Pacific Ocean beaches, and the Pacific Northwest. She invites you to linger, feel the power of place, and contemplate its value in our complex world. Art has always been central to Anne’s life, but she realized her dream of being an artist circuitously. Told she must get a well-rounded degree (rather than attend art school), she earned a BA in art history at Tufts University, where she crammed as many studio art classes into her schedule as she could manage. Anne began her professional career at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, soon becoming director of publications and marketing. She climbed to senior designer at Gilbert Design in Providence, RI, producing museum and gallery exhibition catalogs and college view books. During those years, Anne supplemented her design career with classes in drawing, typography, and printmaking at The School of Visual Arts, NY, The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Rhode Island School of Design. After growing up and working among the cultural riches of New York and New England, Anne moved to Bend in the mid-90s. The hiking trails, rivers, canyons, and lakes became her new museum – and simultaneous cathedral, inspiration, and home. Her inspirations are very much about place, but her motivation isn’t solely to paint realistically. Her paintings attempt to evoke sensations: the heat of the sun, clarity of the light, or a riot of Color. While working as a freelance graphic designer in Bend, she raised two children and explored pastel, printmaking, and painting at the Bend Art Center (Atelier 6000) and COCC. Her work has appeared in group and solo shows in Bend, Portland, and on the Oregon coast. In April 2021, she joined Tumalo Art Co. as a member of the collective. “We are poised between loving this landscape to death with overuse and pillaging its resources without any regard for its intrinsic worth. I hope my work inspires folks to recognize, value, and preserve what we still have. Recently I have been exploring the forces of rocks and water that shape our environment. They’ll endure. Hopefully, if as a community we make the right choices, we will too.” EXHIBITIONS Featured Artist September 22 – October 25, 2023, Hood Avenue Art Fractures and Interludes July 2023, Tumalo Art Co.

"Bayou in Blue & Gold" Landscape
By Max Flandorfer
Located in Soquel, CA
"Bayou in Blue & Gold" by Max Flandorfer (American, b. 1962). Presented in a giltwood frame. Signed "Max Flandorfer" lower left. Titled "Bayou in Blue & Gold," dated "2015" and signed on verso. Image: 12"H x 16"W. Primarily a plein air painter, Max is an avid outdoorsman and is always seeking to capture the spiritual and humble quality of nature. His work evokes a restful, contemplative stillness that he seeks, both in life and his art.

Flandorfer lived in California for over 20 years, and currently resides in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Mostly self-taught, Max was forever drawing and sketching as a kid, but the beautiful landscape, and rich artistic heritage of the Monterey peninsula's artist colony was the deciding influence on his later works. An illustration instructor, Jane Miller of Monterey Peninsula College encouraged him to study early California greats such as Granville Redmond...
