Anne Packard, MAine
For over 50 years, Anne Packard has continued to paint daily in her home studio. She is the recipient of several awards and has been featured in the film, television, books, and the press. Though she longed to become an artist, her parents dissuaded her from pursuing what was considered a “bohemian” lifestyle. They influenced her decision to attend Bard College, marry, and raise 5 children in Princeton, New Jersey. The family spent summers at Sandy Neck in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The months spent on Cape Cod renewed her passion for art. The beauty and the natural light moved her, invoking a sense of nostalgia and reverence for nature’s ever-changing atmospheres.
She used driftwood and weathered shingles as her canvasses and turned the kitchen table into her studio. Her paintings hung on the fence along with her family home. This dedication would eventually lead to owning her own gallery and establish her as one of Cape Cod’s most sought-after artists.
