Anne Blair Brown: Impressionist Artistry at The Red Piano Art Gallery

The Red Piano Art Gallery is proud to showcase the extraordinary work of Anne Blair Brown, a nationally celebrated impressionist painter whose evocative style draws viewers into scenes alive with light, color, and imagination.

Born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Brown has spent her career exploring how everyday surroundings and travel experiences can be transformed into timeless works of art. She explains, “My artwork starts in reality and evolves through my imagination. As an impressionist, I believe in a painting process that enables me to tap into my creativity rather than trying to copy and perfect. My goal is to invite you, the viewer, to connect to the painting such that you personalize the experience and use your own imagination to complete the story.”
