In 2020, Anne was elected to the Ontario Society of Artists and the Colour and Form Society. This is her third year participating in the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour.
“My focus has always been the human form, through both drawing and painting (portraiture, hands, figure). My current practice explores the balance between accuracy and recognition by depicting the human form using free mark-making to distort the edge between abstraction and realism. Portraiture (and self-portraiture) is a passion of mine, and through which I believe it possible to capture both spirit and mood, a sense of the person and our human connection.” — Anne Hoover
