About
Anna B. Webb
Anna Webb’s
career has gradually evolved from architectural and interior
design,
to film and set design, to graphic design, to painting.
In 1994, the
diagnosis of a degenerative eye
disease gave urgency to pursuing her
life-long love of fine art.
Soon after, faced with several weeks alone as her
husband traveled in Brazil, she re-acquainted herself with the old brushes
and paints that had been in storage since her
college art classes.
I
addition to the Nashville skylines she is known for, her subject matter
demonstrates an appreciation of architectural elements from her days
practicing design.
She also draws heavily from her travels; the sights,
the people, the
sensory details.
The colors are bold and vibrant, the
edges clean and sharp.
Rarely does she create a canvas without a
figurative element, characters that beg the observer to ask, “Who is this
person?
Why are they there? What are they thinking?” They are not
out-of-focus suggestions of people, but individuals, rich and detailed.
The
streets,
buildings and rooms in her work are real places where people live
and work and play.
You are drawn into the canvases to experience the
colorful textures, tastes, smells, and sounds along with her subjects.
These days Anna’s time is also occupied by her publication, Nashville
Calendar of the Arts.
Exciting new treatments promise to one day cure the
eye condition
that caused her to pick up her paint brushes again.
Relaxation
comes in the form of home and garden
projects where she “paints” with
building materials and plants.
Her musician husband and many pets give
her focus, inspiration and even
more subject matter.
