Ann Craven (1967)
Ann Craven
Ann Craven is a contemporary American painter known for her lush depictions of the moon, birds, and multi-colored stripes. Craven’s use of serial motifs belies her interest in ephemeral moments, seasonal cycles, and the changeable qualities of painting. She received her BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1986 and her MFA from Columbia University in 1993. She notably served as an artist assistant to Alex Katz, whose work influenced her own. Much of Craven’s practice revolves around painting en plein air, in this way she has captured the moon on hundreds of nights over the years. The artist currently lives and works in New York. Today, her works are held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami, among others.
