ANNE ECKLEY
Anne's artistic journey began over 8 decades ago. Accomplished in three-dimensional art as well as painting, she found her voice when she began to paint with a sewing machine. "The adventure started with wearable art...then it was just a small step to make thread paintings."
With an acrylic sketch on canvas serving as a roadmap for her stitches, she heavily layers thread in free motion embroidery, creating precise color as she builds texture. "It is a very slow, but precise way to paint--imagine a paint brush the width of a thread!"
Anne and Gerald Eckley lived in the Piney Woods of the Texas Gulf coast for 40 years before moving to Alpine. Her landscape paintings reflect their frequent travels--real places across the world and in Far West Texas--while her abstracts speak the universal language of Color.
Pastel painting is the most recent passion of this ever-creative spirit with such a strong sense of design and intuitive understanding of color.
