Anne Gifford
I began my career as a silkscreen artist. After 25 years of printmaking, I now work with watercolor, where I build successive layers of color to create my vibrant, rich, and detailed paintings. I have lived in Boulder, Colorado, since 1976 and find inspiration in the natural beauty of the West that surrounds me. I am always on the lookout for new imagery. Light, shadows, rocks, water, mountains, canyons, wildlife, and whimsy are all part of my subject matter as I bring my own unique vision to my work.
It has been an honor for me to be the eight-time poster artist for the Bolder Boulder 10K Memorial Day Race. My paintings have been chosen to represent the 150th Anniversary of Boulder County and the 40th Anniversary of Boulder County Open Space. I was an artist owner of the Boulder Arts and Crafts Gallery, which flourished on the Pearl Street mall for 50 years.
