Ann-Marie Brown
The Artist
After completing studies in Europe and a Cultural Studies degree at Trent University, Ann-Marie Brown began an artistic practice which led her to encaustic & oil painting. She's continued to develop her skill in this notoriously difficult medium through a dedicated studio practice and residencies, most recently an extended residency at the Artsu Studio in Helsinki, Finland.
Ann-Marie's oil and encaustic paintings have been exhibited across Canada & the United States, and been placed in private, public and corporate collections. Individual works have been reproduced for literary journals including Crannog, The Antigonish Review, Qwerty, Woven Tale Press and Existere, and in films, most notably Dark Arc "A tale about love, lust, art, and the power of the charged image". She was a featured artist in Encaustic Works 2012 curated by Joanne Mattera, author of the seminal book The Art of Encaustic Painting: Contemporary & in the December 2021 issue of Encaustic Arts Magazine produced by the Museum of Encaustic Art.
