Bio
Anne Cherubim is an abstract contemporary landscape painter working in acrylic. Her art is rooted in real life images and textures, with a modern abstraction, often in a limited colour palette. An underlying thread in much of her work is the environment, & stewardship of the planet. Anne’s other body of work is The Recycled Art Project, a series of limited edition digital paintings.
Her art is a reflection of contemporary art as portrayed by someone who is a product of a myriad of cultures: a Canadian girl, born of Sri Lankan parents, now residing in the US. This unique 'lense' through which she sees the world informs her work, undeniably. ‘Tolerance’ is the word we use to talk about being open to, and welcoming of, one another. Anne believes ‘embrace’ is a much better word for talking about cultures, and the ways in which we can coexist. Art and music transcend language - among other barriers- and create commonalities, harmony. They are universals that can be appreciated no matter where you come from, or what language you speak. This is the type of experience Cherubim hopes that her art allows for.
Anne’s work has been displayed on billboards in Times Square, was exhibited in a castle in Italy, has been enlarged to 8 feet tall on display at BWI Airport, and been reviewed in the Washington Post. Alongside exhibiting her own work, Anne has served as juror for numerous art exhibits, and has been a teaching artist for over a decade. She is one of the founding members of the Gaithersburg Artist Collective, the current Chair of the group. Her award-winning work can be found in collections in the US, Canada, & Europe. She currently resides with her husband and children in Boyds, Maryland.
