Painter. Teacher. Gardener.

Paintings that uplift the rooms they live in.

Original oils and acrylics from a thirty year practice - and the methods I share with artists who want to come back to the easel with confidence and consistency.

"Anne Ward is as persuasive an artist as she is not because she reassures us about the real world, but because she reassures us about painting. The way she treats what she paints, and more importantly, how she paints in the first place aver that painting itself — in its vividness and immediacy, its ability to mediate between the seen and felt — will always have a place in our lives."
