About the Artist:
Ann Peck stands as a prominent figure in the Southwestern art scene, her vibrant pastel and watercolor paintings resonating with the rich tri-cultural heritage of her New Mexico upbringing. Born in New Orleans and currently residing in Las Cruces, NM, Ann's self-taught journey has been augmented by studies with notable artists such as Carl Coker, Joe Hidalgo, and Albert Handell. Her work, predominantly created in the late 1990s and early 2000s, was originally showcased at the Mesilla Valley Gallery, reflecting her profound connection to the region's people, traditions, and landscapes. Ann's proficiency shines in her pastel portraiture, yet recently, she has embraced the delicate allure of floral subjects, revealing her versatility and growth as an artist.
Ann's art has adorned various juried and judged exhibitions across the American Southwest and Mexico, highlighting her as a regional treasure. Her accolades include being the poster artist for the Southern New Mexico Wine Festival and St. Genevieve's Festival, along with a distinguished group showing in the Governor's Gallery in Santa Fe. With a portfolio that ranges from evocative portraits to serene landscapes, Ann's pieces are a testament to her ability to capture the essence of the Southwest's spirit through a blend of live models, imagination, and a vivid palette that speaks to the heart of the desert's enchanting beauty.
