The Whistler House Museum of Art is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition, An Eye for Color: Works by Ann Christensen and Anne Silber. 

The public is invited to join us for a closing reception on Saturday, March 7 from 2 - 4 pm.  

Ann Christensen attended Colby College, majoring in mathematics, and later studied graphic design with Dietmar Winkler of Southeastern Massachusetts University. She also studied art history at Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern University and painting at Harvard and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Cezanne, Matisse, the Fauves, the Post-Impressionists, and American Abstract Expressionists are among her artistic influences.

Christensen's expressive use of color earned her the National Faber Birren Color Award in 1992, the Faber Birren Founder's Award in 1997, and the Faber Birren Revington Arthur Foundation Award in 2001. Her affiliations include the Cambridge Art Association, Concord Art Association, Arts League of Lowell, and the Whistler House Museum of Art/Lowell Art Association. Her artwork is widely collected throughout the United States and Europe.

Anne Silber, who earned her BFA from Cornell University in Ithica, New York, has lived and worked in the Boston area since 1977. Silber's work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the United States and Europe, and her prints are included in many corporate and museum collections. Many of her landscapes and cityscapes are inspired by her love of foreign travel and the countries she has visited, though the city of Boston provides inspiration as well.

Silber's serigraphs, or silkscreen prints, are hand-printed using hand-cut lacquer film stencils. She enjoys working with colors to create harmonies and occasional dissonance with a combination of tones. Her works have appeared on the sets of over one hundred feature films and television series, including Grey's Anatomy, The West Wing, The Departed, and The Bucket List.
