Atelier with Ann

Are you an artist who likes the feedback and support of a vibrant community? Pack up what you’re working on or bring your sketchbook and drop in to this monthly drawing and painting atelier led by Ann Guiliani. Every second Saturday, you’ll gather in our Abbott Studio classroom for a convivial but serious afternoon of artmaking and mentorship.

Every second Saturday, $30 drop-in.

Ann has two Masters degrees: One in Painting and Art Education from New York University and one in Printmaking and Visual Design from the University of Massachusetts. Ann moved from West New York, New Jersey, to Cape Cod with her husband and taught at Cape Cod Community College from 1984 to 2000. Versed in so many media, she taught all the art offerings. She has had five solo shows since returning to Cape Cod in 2015. “My images start from daily life experiences: ‘something seen or experienced that must be said’. How I visually interact with a person or a place is never the same. Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher from the 5th century BC, believed that you could never step in the same river twice because it is not the same river, and you are not the same person. I share that belief. For me, life is fleeting and in a state of constant change. Through my art, I try to catch that moment and freeze it and perhaps revisit the image to see it in a different way.”
