Teen Art Wall
This month the Teen Alumni Art Wall features watercolor prints by Anne Anderson. Anne paints subjects she love such as pets, birds, and flowers. Painting provides an escape for Anne. She describes the act of painting as “a breath of fresh air.”
Anne, a former elementary art teacher, has also taught at Menasha/Neenah YMCA and the Menasha Senior Center. She believes that bringing art into a person’s life enriches their visual perspective of the world around them.
Watch for her printmaking program at the library on July 11th!
