Bio

I live in Halifax and at a remote cottage on Sherbrooke Lake. I have always loved photography since receiving the gift of a Brownie box camera back in the 1960's. Little did I know then that I should have kept that camera. It would now be an antique! I love nature so my photography is often focused on the outdoors, both landscapes and details in nature. More recently my range of subjects has broadened to include architecture, dance, some portraiture and photographing almost anything when I travel. My legal career was very analytically focused and so I have always enjoyed the creative pastime of photography, gradually moving from the Brownie to a Minolta SLR, and then various Canon DSLR cameras. I've become more and more excited about photography as the years have passed. I am a juried member of both the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council and ViewPoint Gallery. I regularly exhibit at the Council-sponsored shows as well as ViewPoint Gallery and Swoon Gallery. My limited edition photographs and cards are available at my home studio, and at a number of venues in the province. Please refer to www.serenityimages.ca for more information.

Description of artist's work

Anne's photography practice is infused with the belief that there should be a relationship between the eye and the heart in every photograph she creates. Her images often overflow with colour and line and she photographs almost anything that catches her attention. Photography has become the catalyst to her learning and experience of the world. People often say that her photographs look like paintings. Anne suggests that in your daily life, you pay attention to what opens a relationship between the eye and the heart for you.
