Anne Plant “No Tillage”

Anne Plant’s artwork has had a tremendous response and has garnered the attention of a number of galleries, curators and collectors. Anne is a scientist and is a resident artist at the Glass School.

Anne’s evocative landscapes were first on exhibit at this year’s Washington, DC “Artomatic”art fair and artDC Gallery’s The Common Element show. She is now planning a show at the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Gallery, and the Miami International Art Fair, with Projects Gallery of Philadelphia.

Congratulations Anne!

“As a professional scientist, I explore glass as a medium because of the myriad of forms and combinations that provide opportunities for experimentation. Combining the clarity and luminosity of the glass with imbedded imagery creates both beauty and story.

These works are created with ordinary window (float) glass. These images are constructed by painting parts of the scene onto different layers of glass, which are then fused together.

In this series, the physical depth of the glass layers is used to enhance the feeling of separation, distance and atmosphere. Anne Plant
