Anne Scanlan is an Ottawa-based artist and printmaker. Working in many different subjects ranging from floral to figurative and more, Anne brings a sense of simplicity, calmness and a touch of whimsy to her work. She focuses on reducing objects to simplified shapes and patterns to create an interesting and obscured perspective. She uses colour and light to set a sense of mood. Ann often incpororates bits of patterned paper and fabric to add a tactile and playful element to her paintings.

Anne began painting in the early 90's and recently graduated from the Ottawa School of Art, where she is now teaching.
