We are delighted to share a piece of artwork from one of our community members, Ann Barrett! Ann Barrett works in watercolor and oil on a variety of supports. With roots in observational drawing, her imagery fluctuates between figuration and abstraction, and celebrates human interconnectedness with all of life.
Ann is a six-year member of Jim Laurie’s symbiosis team, a Biodiversity for a Livable Climate financial supporter, and on the board of directors of East Quabbin Land Trust in Hardwick, MA. This is the second piece of Ann’s we’ve shared recently, and we are grateful for her artwork!
