Ann Wyndham was born in Adelaide, South Australia. She
has loved painting since she was a child, inspired by the vast
Australian landscape.
For the past thirty-three years she has lived and painted in America,
developing skills in watercolour, acrylics, caseins, batik and
collage. In Chicago, she participated regularly in art shows
including the Oakbrook, Yorktown and Glen Ellyn Art Festivals.
She belonged to the Lisle Artists' Guild and received awards
in two of their annual shows.
She is a Signature Member of the Southwestern Watercolor
Society and exhibited in their 1993, '94, '95, '96, '97 , '98
and 2001 shows. She received awards at the Western Federation
of Watercolor Societies, 1995 (Award of Excellence) and at the
Southwestern Watercolor Society 1995 (Gallery VIII Award for
Creativity).
Through the years, Ruth Tuck (Australia), Polly Hammett (Houston)
Jane Jones (Dallas), Glenn Bradshaw (Wisconsin), and Virginia
Cobb (Santa Fe), among others have greatly influenced and inspired
Ann.
Ann's paintings are recognizable by their mosaic or stained
glass quality. The figure, faces, vibrant colour and fine line
elements combine
to create Ann's unique and colourful style.
In the Taos area Ann exhibits her paintings, painted rocks and
photocards at Art Divas, her photocards at Moby Dickens Book Shop, 10,000
Wags and the the Millicent Rogers Museum Store. During May 2000, her rocks and paintings were seen at the
First State Bank, located on the southwest corner of Taos Plaza.
In April 2004 Ann had a solo show at Art Divas. On
display were her drawings, rock paintings, photocards and
paintings.
Artist's Statement
I have loved to draw and paint since childhood. Whenever
possible, I incorporate people into my paintings for in doing
so, I feel I give life to my work and a mood that can be sensed
by the viewer. Children and animals are my great loves, and as
such, are frequently an integral part of my life and art.
Recently I have begun painting New Mexico in watercolour and
acrylic. I am overwhelmed by the enormity of the landscape, coupled
with the amazing colour and history of the ancient buildings
and peoples there.
My photocards echo this and there seems to be no end to the
inner joy I feel when painting or photographing in New Mexico,
Taos in particular.
