Contemporary Fine Art

 Anne P. Wert is an artist and educator. After a career as an elementary school teacher, Anne spent many years living and painting overseas in Europe and Asia before eventually moving with her family to Rhode Island. Her fine art work focuses on landscapes, most recently of scenes inspired by her travels and living in coastal New England. She works in both oil and watercolor, mostly from her studio, but still enjoys plein air painting when possible.

In addition to being an Artist member at the Providence Art Club, the Rhode Island Watercolor Society, and the Art League of Rhode Island, she is also a member of the New England Watercolor Society, and the American Watercolor Society. Her paintings and illustrations have been shown and juried into galleries around New England, and are in private collections around the world. She is currently a painting teacher at several locations in and around RI.

After graduating with a degree in painting from UMassDartmouth, Kathleen Weber was employed by the Providence Journal as an advertising layout artist, followed by a stint as a greeting card illustrator at Paramount Cards. Eventually she left to freelance, do fine art and teach painting at various art organizations in Rhode Island. For the last three years she has been running a weekly portrait painting/drawing group at the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative, where she is also on the Board, and has enjoyed organizing pop-up shows with other artists
