Annette, using her nom de plume, Perone, will feature mixed media paintings, watercolors and sculpture in her solo exhibit “Past & Present Inspirations.”

She states: "Today, I embrace contemporary concepts, materials and images from many sources. My senses fill me with wonder compelling me to create art that will communicate my thoughts and feelings. Possessing voice, vision and creative energy, I understand myself as imagination leads me through the stages of a developing artist as in "Past & Present Inspirations.”

Annette has received over 200 awards for her art and on behalf of the arts in her community. She has had nine one-person exhibits and has her art in public and private collections in the United States and abroad. She lectures on art, gives demonstrations and teaches art to children and adults. She is affiliated with numerous art associations and is involved in and founded art groups in Addison.

Would you like to learn some of the techniques of a mixed-media artist? Annette will be offering a workshop in June. Details will be announced on the Addison Center for the Arts FaceBook and web pages.
