Anne Huskey-Lockard…

This is my new friend, Anne Huskey-Lockard.  She's a gal I've heard a lot about through the arty grapevine, but hadn't gotten to meet.  Finally!  We met and chatted over 3 cups of coffee and I think she summed it up best here.  "A kindred spirit" indeed, there is acosmic connection amongst artists (ok, the internet helps too) that we can find each other through the miles of corn fields that separate us.  And it's comforting to meet people that understand this strange existence of being an artist.  Anne recently injured herself, so if you could stop for a second and send her some healing thoughts, it would be most appreciated.  As it turns we have a few friends in common, so I look forward to summer and chats about new ideas and visits to her studio.

These are some of Anne's box canvases rich in layers of paint and collage.  Unbelievable when you look at all that's going on in her work.  She makes art that you can really get lost in….  Click the picture to enlarge it.

Anne is also the coordinator of the Peru Arts Co-op that meets at the cute, Cafe Du Cirque.  I love a coffee shop with a green front door!  It's a great place with lots of charm and smiles.
