Biography
As an award-winning abstract artist, Anne Garrett is a signature member of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA).
In some of her paintings lines are inscribed into wet, thickly-applied acrylic paint; in other paintings line work is added in ink on top of dried paint. The viewer is provided with pathways to follow through each of the paintings.
