Anne Kenyon is an artist who has worked in a variety of media, including watercolor, handmade paper and most recently in pastel. Her work is primarily landscapes with a focus on local scenes, farms and gardens. For many years she worked in handmade paper collage, making her own paper colored with artists’ pigments and developed into paintings. Over the years, she has experimented with different media and a workshop in pastel led to further exploration of that medium. Her current work is created in pastel. Some works feature pastel over underpaintings of handmade paper or acrylic, adding texture and depth. More recent work includes watercolor and pastel over drypoint.
