Hello, I'm Anne McCracken. My artwork is inspired by spending time outside, observing nature; by what I read (when the weather calls for curling up with a book and a cup of tea), and by beautiful food. I always begin drawing/painting on paper by hand, with pencil and/or watercolors. My work is personal, like a hand-written letter; and I hope it evokes a touch of nostalgia.
I began working on my art skills when I was about three years old, and continue to do so a whole lot of years later. The learning process has included earning a BA in art, working as an artist/designer/illustrator/calligrapher, living and traveling in Europe, learning from other artists, and of course, lots of trial and error. I currently live in beautiful Pennsylvania with my husband and two boys. I love spending time with my family, gardening, reading, trying new food, Irish dancing, and hiking in the woods.
