Anne Rivers

COLORS...SHAPES...PATTERNS...TEXTURE

My work is influenced by Sonia Delaunay, Henri Matisse and Gustav Klimt.

I am a self-taught artist who has painted professionally for over 20 years and shown my work in galleries throughout the United States.

My paintings reflect my joy in color and my optimism about life! I am fascinated by colors, shapes and patterns!

I use acrylic or gouache paint and enjoy incorporating a variety of mixed media products into my paintings and collages!

One of my favorite ways to create is with commissioned pieces. I can take your story and personalize it into a timeless piece of art!

The goal of my art is to inspire, intrigue and captivate!
