February 14 - Ann Altman

Ann Altman is about as close as a fellow artist can get - down the street. She's a neighbor, a teacher, a founder of Lunaria Gallery, and a wonderful artist.

Ann works primarily in acrylics and oil pastels, and her work is represented by Portland Art Museum  and galleries.  Reproductions of her paintings are among the top sellers available in the Syracuse Cultural Workers catalog. Additionally, Ann has an extensive resume of public and commissioned work.

Her color choices consistently draw me into her work. Then I notice lively textures that set off her compositions. She also has a knack for creating a mood with a few brush strokes.  Ann is currently incorporating silver and gold leaf into her acrylic paintings. Let's see them on your website, Ann!
