Ann Christensen

Artist Biography

Ann Christensen's introduction to art was literally an "Introduction to Art' course at Colby College in the 60's. After college, she studied art history at Harvard, MIT, Boston University and Northeastern; and painting at Harvard and the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Her life evolved in other ways as well…she got married, had a son, traveled as much as possible, and basically laughed and loved as much as she could while experiencing the inevitable pain and losses of growing through life. All these things, combined with a tendency toward emotional oversensitivity, have contributed to the character of her work.

"I love how people react to the energy and emotional accessibility in my paintings, as well as to the somewhat adventurous use of color.”

Ann's hope is that some of her paintings remind you of a place you have been or would perhaps like to visit.
