ANNE PACKARD (1933- ) Born and raised in Hyde Park, NY, Anne Packard spent her summers as a child in Provincetown. She studied at Bard College and later worked with the late Phil Malicoat, known for his breathtaking views of the coast.
Anne moved to Provincetown year-round in 1977 after raising her five children. Packard shares a kindred relation to the sea with her grandfather Max Bohm, who was a highly acclaimed Romantic Impressionist at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. He studied at the Cleveland Art School as well as the Acadamie Julien in Paris.
She was one of the original founding members of the artist colony in Provincetown. Primarily a self-taught artist, initially her art was painted on wood panels and weathered shingles. For over forty years, Packard’s inimitable paintings of Provincetown, the Outer Cape, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Mexico have been collected by art collectors from around the globe.
“My paintings have nothing to do with nature. It's something to do with forever going.. the space behind the sky.. the space behind the shadow. It's an inner world [of] emotion and yearning. I yearn to express solitude,” said Packard.
Her scenes evoke memories of the east coast, or perhaps the Lake Erie shoreline. She works with a wide brush...and often with her hands dipped into paint. The result: thoughtful works that bring what she feels onto the canvas.
Her works have long been handled by Gallery One.
