New Local Artist on the Art Wall

The quarter has already shifted and that means Eclectic Healing Guide has a new local artist on the Art Wall. The next three months (September to November) I will be showing the creative works of Anne Yates. Again if you fall in love with the art you see here, I will provide you with a means to contact the artist so that you can purchase the next addition to your home or office. If you would like to see a piece up close feel free to schedule a viewing time and a massage (to schedule go to www.colettemassage.com).

Who is Anne Yates:

In May 2000 Anne Price Yates joined a group of plein air painters in Provence, France. The experience initiated her current style, which is more impressionistic than her earlier work. In September 2001 at the Desert Empire Fair, Ridgecrest, California, the four paintings Anne entered in the competition in the professional category took first, second, and third place and also honorable mention.

Paintings of Anne Price Yates have been exhibited in California, both in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the high desert, as well as in Manhattan—in SOHO and Chelsea galleries. In late 2007 and early 2008, some of her French paintings were shown at the Kingstad Gallery in Beaverton, Oregon. In March she exhibited at the Riviera Country Club’s 24th Annual Exhibit in
Coral Gables, Florida. Her giclées are available either from her or from the Coleman Studios in Orem, Utah (Colemanart.com).

At the age of four, Anne was asked by neighborhood children to draw pictures for them. At age 10, she was a student in the Carnegie Institute’s (Carnegie Museum of Art) Tam-O-Shanter Saturday classes in Pittsburgh and continued in the Saturday Palette classes as a teenager. Anne began painting with oils at 11 or 12. As a young teen, she won several awards for her painting, including the gold key in Kaufmann’s Scholastic Art Awards Exhibit and first place in a Florida state art contest by the Florida Division of the American Association of University Women.

Anne was among the youngest of 16 students between the ages of 14 and 16 selected to research, design, and paint four large backdrop murals for a major exhibition of Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh (see Carnegie Magazine, Nov. 1953, pp. 300-305). The project was covered by the local newspapers, KDKA television station, and Life Magazine. Anne is shown here, on the cover of The Pittsburgh Press Roto Magazine (Sunday, September 6, 1953) with artist Jack Butler.

By the time she studied Art at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Anne was focused primarily on figure drawing. Her interest in the human form was evident in both her drawing and painting, although her work included an occasional landscape. Her portrait work was usually in either colored pencil or graphite.
