Background
Anne Huth is an Australian artist living in Central Queensland.
Anne has had a lifetime passion for drawing and painting - exhibiting and selling artwork from a young age. Realistic with an impressionistic touch is an apt description for Anne's work. Using a large range of media, Anne embraces landscapes, portraits, pet portraits, home portraits, buildings, machinery and vehicles, trees and plants, still life - almost anything, actually. Charcoal, pen, pastel and oils are definite media favourites.
In 2015, Anne completed a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art). This degree focussed on contemporary art.
Anne has work in private collections around the world as well as in local council, public collections.

Artist Statement
My paintings, drawings and prints bring an element of calm into our busy lives. Strongly influenced by Impressionism, I aim to imbue our everyday lives with harmony and serenity. These characteristics are found in landscapes, seascapes, street scenes and the ordinary realities that surround us. An atmosphere of peace and comfort reaches out from flowing, colour harmonies, gentle, visual paths and meaningful, quiet areas within my artworks. Viewers are encouraged to relax and feel a blanket of calmness envelop them, taking them to a place of inner peace.
Wrap yourself in the tranquility of the natural environment. Find serenity in the familiar. Experience the atmosphere of the unfamiliar. Feel the calmness and stillness of the quietened mind guiding you to your inner sanctuary.
