Anne W. Ackerson

Artist's Bio

Anne W. Ackerson (she/her/hers) is a Troy, NY-based visual artist inspired by the drama and fragility of the rural landscape. She works primarily in acrylic and mixed media on paper, using a variety of mark-making tools -- charcoal, graphite, pastel, crayon – and sometimes natural materials such as bark, stone, leaf litter, and soil to create a strong multi-layered mix of pattern, texture, and colors. Anne writes, “I am exploring my relationship to the natural world – a world in peril due to climate trauma and one that will be forever changed before my lifetime is over.” In 2025, she was selected to join a national cohort of 26 artists for a two-week residency at Chautauqua Institution.

Anne is thrilled that her paintings have been recognized by numerous juried shows regionally and nationally, and are in private collections across the US.
