Anna Balentine Western Landscape Art Prints

"Painting is an expression of ideas and individuality. For me, each painting is an extension of myself, and my need to share the beauty I see and feel with others . . ." Creating a work of art always presents an exciting challenge. By painting with emotion and feeling, Anna expresses a personal involvement with each new piece. The intensified use of color and style move the viewer to be part of a particular place or subject. Always seeking new ways of interpreting her environment, Anna welcomes different opportunities in medium and technique. By combining two of her favorites, watercolor and batik, Anna Balentine captures a feeling of wonderful color and vibrancy. Her interpretation of subject matter may involve the use of watercolor, batik, acrylics, or printmaking. Whatever the media, each new work shows a consistent use of glowing color and underlying design. Living in the Southwest since 1971, Anna Balentine has had several shows and her works have appeared in numerous state and regional juried shows. Anna's paintings are included in many private and corporate collections such as: Security Pacific, Harris Trust, Motorola and Scottsdale Memorial Health Systems. Her commissioned works are in demand and hang in many permanent collections. Anna maintains a studio in Scottsdale, Arizona and is currently a member of The Arizona Watercolor Association and the Arizona Artist Guild. She exhibits at fine art galleries in Arizona, New Mexico, and California.
