About Anne Ormsby - Watercolorist

Anne Ormsby
If art is a reflection of life, then Ormsby's must be filled with an unorthodox sense of perspective. Anne's paintings give happy thoughts to everybody!

As one of this country's dominant watercolor artists, she maintains a refreshing painterly quality, which is refined, yet unpretentious and gleefully naive at times.



Colorful, fun artwork
Ormsby's sources of inspiration seem to be as eclectic as the media with which she works. She varies her subject matter with whim and ease, and can seemingly paint anything which strikes her fancy. Her topics range from colorful, whimsical rendering of women seen in a variety of environments and character studies to western bronco busters. Her media spans watercolor, pastel, ink with wash, colored pencil and acrylic.

Large Format
The size formats of her work are striking. Her paintings range from 3 inches by 4 inches to 3 feet by 4 feet.

To the casual viewer, a common element, other than her love of color and unique sense of humor, is difficult to find in Anne's paintings. Her topics are broad because her paintings reflect childhood memories of early environments, characters, interior design styles, and on-going travel and family experiences.
