Anne Gilson, a self-taught artist, began her career in Boston as a muralist, working primarily with Sidewalk Sam and City Year. She collaborated with Judge Baker Children’s Center, painting murals in several playgrounds and schools and she devised an art curriculum for at risk kids.

Her last public art project was an 18-foot long historical mural for the Carmelite Monastery in Boston. She eventually moved to studio art and has since exhibited her paintings throughout New England in individual and group shows. Her collages were featured in New York Times Style section.

Basing her most recent series on “HOME,” Anne uses water based and mixed media and she often incorporates text, further creating a storyline for the viewer to interpret in their own way. Anne’s themes tend to revolve around emotions and irony relating to nature, music, relationship. She is excited to be a new resident of Gloucester.
