Anne Cameron Cutri

Anne Cutri has shown her work from Boston to Dallas and points in between. In past reviews, her work has been described as “. . . luminous, spinning, glowing celebrations of the universe housing its own consciousness as humanity...'( John Bender, 'In Pittsburgh) 'Cutri paintings communicate ideas of spirituality and metaphysics through her use of sweeping color, canvas juxtaposition, and diffuse imagery, merging Eastern and Western traditions in her vision' (Valerie Johnson, Little Rock Free Press) Most recently, Cutri ’s work embodies her personal mysticism, mystery married whimsical reverence. The thick strokes covered in rich oil glazes engage the observer in a very disarming way.

Decorative surrealism or symbolic abstraction, Cutri’s paintings are clearly the work of a visionary. Her first big influence was Georgia O'Keefe and in her early 20s, Cutri traveled to Taos, New Mexico, to find her. Cutri recalls, “O’Keefe was still alive then, and I even found her house, but was told that she had been moved to a hospital or nursing facility. Faced with just a rental car and the unfamiliar territory of this red-earthed town , I realized the only way to get to know her, would be to take in the landscape around me, and try to see what she saw. I then began to pray, meditate and absorb her world around me. Soon after that, Cutri researched other artists based on O’keefe’s style and influences. This lead her to such artists as Odilon Redon, Jackson Pollock, William Baziotes, Mark Rothko, Agnes Pelton and many others particularly naive and folk artists.

Anne Cutri has been a practicing professional artist for over 30 years. Her paintings have been shown with Paul Laffoley at the Boston Visionary Cell (see American Visionary Art Museum) and Beth Ames Swartz and Nancy Azara at Sun Cities Art Museum. Other galleries and museums include but are not limited to: Frick Fine Arts at the University of Pittsburgh, University of Dallas, Arkansas Art Center, LaFond Gallery, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Trumbull Art Gallery, Rivermarket Art Space. Cutri is also featured in private and commercial collections, including a 15 painting commission for the pediatric office of Dr. Joseph Barber. Her children’s book illustrations, including the commercially distributed Henry the Hesitant Heron, reflect the same versatile whimsy as her two decades of painting. Cutri has written and illustrated three children’s books, and is currently working on a graphic novel.

If you are interested in the original painting, talk to me about price--it is negotiable. On the multiple canvas pieces, if you are thinking of buying a print, I suggest that you buy a paper print and then take it to your local frame shop and have them drymount it to foam core and then cut out the print along the image of the canvas to eliminate the background, Then mount on a mat board a color of your choice.

FYI: I will be glad take any one of the images here and add your personal note, scripture, inspirational saying or quote. Just email me and I will add it on at no extra charge.

You can purchase originals at the website link to the right. (NOTHING POSTED NOW, BUT WILL IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE ORIGINAL THROUGH PAYPAL. Email me if you're interested in one that's not there and I'll put it up! Thanks and enjoy!

Also, if you purchase a print, I would love to hear from you, via email. We don't get to know who you are, when a print is ordered, just where you are from. I would love to send you a personal thank-you! Just drop me a line via email if you wish. If not, thank-you so much for appreciating my work, and have a Blessed day, week and in the years to come!
