Ann Brodhead’s art is much influenced by her childhood days and the environment in which she grew. The places she visited and the people she interacted with contribute immensely to her keen interest in colonial days. She’s also quite aware of her English ancestry and this also acts as a driving force behind her work. She fell in love with art right from the moment she could hold a pencil. She knew from that tender age that she would become a professional artist. That has come to pass and today she’s one of the best artists in the world. Her posters, prints and art have a calming and serene effect, and his delicate mixing of acrylics creates a look similar to watercolor. The artist trims her art with delicate borders that add a touch of quaintness and charm.
She does not want to complicate her work, believing since it’s through her art that she communicates to her viewers what she feels about her subject matter, the simpler the art is, the better the message will be passed across. In her posters, prints and art, Ann portrays a simpler time by using imagery from nature. Throughout her career, the artist has been working towards improving her art. That’s why she’s a loyal visitor of galleries and museums from where she learns from the work of other artists. She also likes to surround herself with art materials and is eager to learn about some of the past and present leading artists. Ann enjoys using and experimenting with a variety of fabrics for her canvas.
