Art at the Library

Acrylic Art by Anne (Raven) Albrecht

Landscape painting of river, trees and sky.

Raven Albrecht, a resident of the Cross Plains, Black Earth community, has discovered the perfect way to combine her creativity and a love of the outdoors by capturing the natural world using the plein aire painting style. Raven can often be seen tramping through the woods or sitting by the side of a stream trying to catch just the right light or reflection on the water. Most of Raven's work focuses on locations in Dane County, but she also studies and paints in the Florida Keys. A relatively new painter, Raven sells her painting to private collectors in the United States.

In addition to her painting, she is the owner of Ravenworks, an historical clothing store in Madison, WI.

Prior to moving to Madison, Raven spent 25 years in law enforcement and worked both in the US and overseas for the UN and Department of Justice as a trainer and administrator.

A reception will be held Monday, May 21, 6:00-8:00 PM at the library. The show runs through July 6th.
