Anne Schreivogl
Anne Schreivogl is a spontaneous, creative and intuitive artist, and seeks to capture the unnoticed delights in life onto canvas, in an upbeat colorful style using acrylic. She also paints Impressionistic-style oil landscapes.
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Schreivogl received her formal education at Western Washington University and the Seattle Academy of Fine Art (now GAGE) where she attended as an arts grant recipient of the Anacortes Arts Foundation. She has always carried a pen and sketchpad – whether she has studied in France, taught English in Japan, or during her travels by bicycle across the U.S.
Museum shows include a solo show, “Meditative Exuberance” at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (2018), and art in the “Barn Show” at the Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner.
She was selected “Best of the West” by Southwest Art Magazine and her work can be found in the collections of the Seattle Aquarium, Island Hospital, Anacortes Public Library, among others.
She has been a featured poster artist for the Port Townsend Film Festival (2014), Anacortes Jazz Festivals (2005, 2004), and Anacortes Arts Festival (2006). She actively juries and judges Northwest art shows, including the Northwest Pastel Society’s Signature Show (2021) and Women Painters of Washington summer show (2015).
She maintains her studio and residence in Anacortes, Washington.
“With my art I seek to transmit the joy I see and feel in everyday small moments onto canvas. Birds perched on wires, flowers dancing in gardens, culinary creations, and book scenes are common motifs. My last name ‘Schreivogl’ means ‘screeching bird’ and birds often find their way into my art, along with cats who harmonize with them”.
