The paintings of Anne Womack deliver the universal experience with a fresh voice. Her current passion is painting modern still lifes that explore shape, form, and color while focusing on the play of light, shadow and reflection. Everyday objects are assembled with an affinity for creating a new frame of reference. Using the camera as a supplement to her sketchbook, she creates compositions that are pleasing to the eye and suggest the telling of a story. Subject matter is selected based on textures, shapes, reflections and color harmony to develop compositions that present everyday objects in a new way. All work is oil on canvas, painted over an acrylic under painting.
Anne Womack has been a resident of Plano, Texas since 1982. A native of Mississippi, she has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi and a Masters of Library Science degree from Louisiana State University. She has been a librarian for the City of Plano since 1983 and Library Manager at Harrington Library since 1993.
She has studied art and painting at colleges in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas as well as participating in workshops and private instruction. While living in Monroe, Louisiana, she took painting and drawing classes at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. She began actively painting again in the early 1990’s, and continues to study painting at Collin College in Plano. Her paintings have been accepted in numerous juried shows and have received numerous awards.
