Anne Diggory Art

Anne Diggory was born in 1951. Diggory lives in Saratoga Springs and frequently paints in the Adirondacks and on her travels to places such as Arizona, Alaska and Morocco. She graduated from Yale and has a master of fine arts degree from Indiana University. Diggory has a passion for the landscapes of Hudson River School artists, such as Alexander Helwig Wyant, John Frederick Kensett, William Trost Richards and David Johnson. She was rewarded with a solo exhibition at the Albany Institute of History and Art in April 2019. She exhibits extensively in the New York and New England area. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections nationwide, including purchases by the Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse, Phoenix Home Life in Albany, Bessemer Trust in San Francisco and AYCO in Saratoga Springs. Her unique portrayals of the historic Saratoga Racetrack from the late 1970s and 1980s are her most famous works because they focus primarily on the bettors, gamblers, handicappers, spectators, crowds and general atmosphere of the summer horseracing meet, rather than the horses and jockeys.
