Anne studied Art at St.
Martin’s School of Art, U.K., Western University, London, ON, summer school at
the University of Toronto and at the University of Guelph.
Her work has been featured
in several solo shows in the U.K. and southern Ontario from 1953 to the
present. She has also had a number
of joint shows with her husband, Tristan Eekhoff. Anne has entered and was accepted at juried shows in Young
Contemporaries, U.K., Stratford, Woodstock, London, and elsewhere in southern
Ontario. She also has works in private collections in Canada, the U.S. and the
U.K.
She taught Art in London,
England and London, Ontario. After
retirement she taught adults at various local venues.
Anne started to become very
involved in several types of printmaking after retirement, but woodcuts and
serigraphs (silkscreens) have been her main focus, especially as she finds they
allow one to move more readily towards abstraction, depending upon ink colour
or the colour of the paper. Thus,
the mood of a print can then be radically altered.
Anne and Tristan often
meander around the countryside; hence they chanced upon these unusual windswept
pine trees on the edge of Hawk Cliff near Port Stanley. They just had to stop to make a quick
sketch, which ultimately led to this woodcut.
“Trio” is a woodcut and has been printed on various coloured papers and was inspired by “the tall trees in the greenwood”.
