“I held a natural artistic ability from a young age, and it blossomed throughout my school years.”
Anne Batz is a classically trained oil painter who resides in the picturesque countryside of Middleburgh in upstate NY. She was born and raised in Amityville, NY on Long Island. Throughout her school years, she attended public school and was enrolled in special art classes where she learned and was exposed to many creative media from grade school and through High School.
New beginnings and welcoming the possibilities of all that is to come as waves on an ocean.
After taking and mastering every art class that was offered once she got to High School, her Art Teacher created a new curriculum for her to continue to advance her skills and offer new opportunities to apply her creativity. Marrying at a young age and becoming a wife and a mother, her art was put on hold while raising her young children.
Subway Dancer
On a NYC Subway you can always find interesting images. This was an image capture on one trip of a Dancer who had spent a long day in rehearsals and bent over her bags took a quick nap on her way home exhausted.
Her love of creating art was resumed when she began studying at the Woodstock School of Art as an adult. She studied closely with two accomplished oil painters; Lois Woolley - A nationally recognized portrait painter, and Hongnain Zhang - An internationally renowned historical painter, both sought after for commissioned work for Museums, Institutions, and private commissions as well as instructing at the Woodstock School of Art.
“The two instructors recognized my natural abilities and invited me to take private classes with them.”
Anne’s private classes were intensive classical training sessions. During this time she also continued attending the classes they offered at WSA (Woodstock School of Art) and became their class monitor in the classes they each instructed at the school in Woodstock NY.
“As an impressionistic and realist-style painter, I aspire to work with thick paint and broad brush strokes with bold colors to impel the brain to suggest the details of the subject.”
Working in many media, such as graphite, charcoal, acrylic, and airbrush among other media, her chosen media is oil and canvas. Anne also had a successful career as a sole proprietor as a sign painter, creating hand-painted signs for many businesses painting signs, murals, and store windows in her local area as well as on vehicles used for businesses, vehicle pin-striping, and customized airbrushing on vehicles and signs.
Sidewalk Drummer
In the midst of the city that never sleeps and truly was found in the early hours of the morning in Times Square. A crowd of dancing and enthralled onlookers listening and watching a talented musician using unusual objects from daily life to create beautiful and enchanting music.
“My love, enjoyment, and attention to a good story bring out my artistic side and inspire me to memorialize these stories on canvas.”
The enjoyment of prancing in the rays a new dawning day
Deciding to give up the business to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry as a business professional to support her children following her divorce, she found herself once again putting her art on hold. After many years working as a professional in the corporate world, Anne recently decided to leave the corporate world and devote her focus to her natural abilities full-time.
Off on the journey of adulthood and all the joys and troubles of the journey
Anne prefers and excels at painting subjects, such as people, animals, and lost and forgotten items on canvas or murals. She captures the essence of the subject in the likeness and encompasses their personalities into paintings.
The results of all the hard work and practice put in.
Finding inspiration in the world around her, the artist enjoys memorializing the beauty she finds in everyday life while exploring new places either urban or remote. Although many love to use pen and paper to write stories, Anne discovered she enjoyed translating the joy and memorializing a story into images with paint and brushes.
Capturing moments of childhood
“Now focusing on my love for creating art, I am often commissioned to paint specialized pieces.”
This old relic still bobs and drifts restrained in the co fines of its equally dilapidated boat house standing in defiance to the modern day.
Anne’s way of storytelling is creating a connection with the viewer where the story or memory unfolds. She prefers the use of oil paint with its thick, rich body and bold colors that meld together adding to the depth of the story. Her challenge is to find beauty in unusual places while capturing the stories that are everywhere using colors and brushes to capture a moment in time.
Waiting for the next adventure on the seas.
Over the years, Anne has won several awards and has been recognized for her work, on television as well as in competitions. She has recently been chosen to show her works in NY, LA, and other online Art shows. The purpose of art is to wash the dust of daily life off a person’s soul and fill a blank space beautifully.
Forgotten long ago and now harboring a shelter for new life.
