Project Description
Anne Alexander
Anne Alexander lives in the historic mill village of South Windham, Maine, along The Presumpscot River. She creates sculpture in the mediums of carved wood and stone and modeled clay. Her smaller work is exhibited in galleries and larger human scale sculptures are shown in exterior, temporary, sited sculpture shows in Maine, New England, and beyond. Her work is organic in form inspired by small nature specimens such as marine life and plant pods. Her work expresses themes of growth, life cycles and stages, and regeneration. She investigates connections between our surrounding environment and the human body. The driving theme of her work is exploring and enhancing the spiritual and physical connection to the natural world.
Ms. Alexander has received numerous grants and residencies including: two Pollack- Krasner Foundation grants, five Maine Arts Commission Project Grants, and a 9 month Fulbright to study the art and artifacts of The Taino Indian. Recently in 2017 & 2019, she was awarded two funded artist residencies in Maine at Monson Arts and The Maine Farmland Trust. In 2020, she was awarded a Maine Crafts Apprenticeship Grant to learn to carve sculptures in granite.
Her human scale outdoor sculpture, carved from cedar logs can currently be seen at: Meredith Sculpture Walk, Meredith, NH; Longwoods Preserve and Farm Restaurant, Cumberland, ME & Clark University, Worcester, MA
Anne is a retired art teacher from both public and independent schools (Waynflete for 12years). She continues to teach by doing carving workshops in schools. Carving for the public is an activity she does regularly at Boothbay Railway Village, schools, and outdoor sited sculpture exhibits.
