BIOGRAPHY:
Ann Reeves was born in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in Parsippany, N.J. She began to illustrate her own stories at the age of four. Upon graduating from Boonton High School, she received a Certificate of Merit from the Fine Art Galleries of Carnegie Institute. She attended McDowell School of Fashion Design in Manhattan, and worked for a time in the fashion industry. Next came marriage and a family, and Ann dedicated the next thirty years to raising four daughters. Once the girls were grown, Ann was free to pursue her artistic interests. Painting in her much loved folk art style, Ann's artwork has won acclaim from many organizations. Her painting entitled, "Helping Hands", was selected by the Trenton Artist's Workshop to tour Russia in 1990. In 1991, Ann was selected by Warren County, New Jersey for their annual County Pride Award. A regional Fellowship in Painting from Mid-Atlantic National Endowment of the Arts was awarded in 1994. Her oil painting entitled "Berlin Wall Comes Down" has a permanent home in the Deutshes Historishe Museum in Berlin, Germany. The Arts Council of Princeton established the "Ann Reeves Artist-In-Residence Program" in order to annually provide select artists with new works, while providing the community with opportunities for creative interaction with artists in all disciplines.Numerous awards continued. In 1996, Ann was honored to be the first One Artist Show sponsored by Warren County Cultural and Heritage Commission. She was commissioned by the Atlantic City Convention Center Authority to paint the City. On October 20, 2012. Ann Reeves was inducted into the Warren County Hall of Fame. Her work has been seen around the world, from New Jersey to Germany...to cruise ships and beyond. Her unique folk art style is easily identifiable and features many local scenes, such as street scenes of Hackettstown and the Warren County Farmer's Fair. Reeves' love for small towns is the theme of many of her paintings. Ann Says, "Art just comes naturally to me. My art education consists of going to the Hackettstown Public Library and studying art books. Everything I learned, I taught myself."
