<\/a><\/p>\nAnne at her booth, set for the summer<\/h6>\n
Again this year, not only are festival visitors arrested by the art, a good number are signing up for the informal classes she teaches in her studio. Not that students come away with work quite to the level of her 15 years of exploration in the medium, but they can hope. And they do always come away with something.<\/p>\n
In a sense every artist’s signature should be all through the artwork, it being the individual flourish of his or her own style. It’s certainly so in Anne’s work; but in addition, there’s often an element of her actual handwriting right in the piece as well. Sometimes there’s a “message,” most often it’s just another design element, something to engage, to wonder about. It doesn’t hurt that she has a very graceful hand when it comes to writing.<\/p>\n As always, these pieces need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. We’re grateful for this electronic medium, but nothing takes the place of experiencing them up close and at full size.\u00a0 As much as anything they’re studies in layers, often as not with found objects making up the inked plates, yet with a natural sense of design and just enough “fussing” to evidence there was a master craftsman behind all this indeed.<\/p>\n The pieces shown in this e-gallery are some of those featured in the show. That is, at least for now. Any of them can find new homes at any time, which of course is what it’s all about. Well, not all<\/em> about. There are many reasons for making and showing art. Put an h<\/em> and an e<\/em> in front of that word and you’ll have another big reason. Then there’s the camaraderie with other like-minded people and meeting new friends along the way. That’s the public part of the work, after the pieces themselves are developed while alone in the solace of the studio. “Solace,” there’s a good name for a print. See below.<\/p>\n But first, check out “Contrary to the Evidence.” It’s right there behind Anne’s shoulder in the picture at the top. At the edge of the picture is the match for the print, that one entitled, “Evidence to the Contrary.” These titles are part of the fun, and part of the engagement. The engagement being preliminary to a marriage. (That’s a sale.)<\/p>\n Here’s another use for art. Once again Bakke Graduate University in Seattle has approached Anne for permission to use her work in their printed materials. Shown is the front and back cover for an introduction to the school, produced a year ago. Placed on top of that is this year’s commencement program. As you can see, the art is a great addition to their image. What you can’t see is all the other places these pieces are used inside the materials. All very beautiful.<\/p>\n Finally, here’s Solace<\/em>, the title mentioned above, and the piece used this year by Bakke Graduate University. We should add here that Bakke is a school that attracts students from around the world. You can see how they would be attracted to some of Anne’s internationalized pieces.<\/p>\n Here’s a new website home page that connects Anne’s and my sites. “Moore and Moore Art” is a business name we’ve had for some years. We use it sometimes. Actually, we’re usually too busy making the art to try to figure out how to market it. But that is part of the game. While “starving artist” holds something of a romantic ring, it’s never been our long term goal. So, in an effort to become a little more visible, we’ve created the Moore and Moore Art website. It’s only one page deep. The introductory material is there, with offer of a brochure, with mention of the kind of clients we serve, and then with links to the individual sites.\u00a0 Try it and see how it works. Better yet, send it to a friend.<\/p>\n![\"Balancing-Act-650\"](\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Balancing-Act-650.jpg\" "\\"Balancing-Act-650\\"")
