FASO Collector Recommends: Ann Rudd
Biography
Ann T. Rudd is a contemporary oil painter with work represented in galleries in the United States and abroad. Her artwork has received numerous awards, including the BoldBrush Award for Abstract in 2022. Her figurative paintings have been published in two notable magazines: as a Finalist in International Artist magazine’s People and Figures competition in 2024 and as First Place Overall in Plein Air magazine’s Salon Competition in March 2024. Her work has recently been exhibited in museum shows. Ann is a signature member of the American Women Artists organization.
Based in Charlotte, Ann is originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. She earned a bachelor’s degree from East Carolina University, a master’s in Applied Psychology from Virginia Tech, and provided psychological services for people with special needs for several decades. Over the years, she attended classes with master artists in the Charlotte area and a myriad of online painting workshops, exploring contemporary ideas of abstraction. In addition to painting, Ann enjoys reading, couch time, beach, travel, chess, team trivia, and ongoing efforts at golf and racquet sports.
Artist Statement: I love the experience of quiet contentment. I seek it, appreciate it, and am always intrigued when I see individuals sitting quietly, alone with their thoughts. I love painting these moods with gray tones and soft edges and I challenge myself to lose as many edges as possible.
Influences: Berthe Morisot, James Whistler, Alberto Giacometti, Alex Powers, Alex Kanevsky, Ann Gale, Tibor Nagy and France Jodoin. All of those subtle colors, interesting edges and compelling moods!
Ann donates a portion of her sales to disaster relief charities.
