New artists at FSPL: Annalisa Grahn and Allen Grahn! 🎨🖌
Artist's bios: "Annalisa has always drawn, especially horses, as far back as she can remember. Her painting career started with left over paint from a small paint- by – number given her by a family friend when she was about ten. So that first picture was heavy on green and black, smeared as thin as possible.
But by the time she married her husband, Allen, (also an artist) she had discovered oils, her favorite.
Allen also has always drawn and painted with whatever he could find. He too likes oils, but prefers watercolor. He has also done batiks – watercolor on rice paper.
Anna and Allen have taken summer art classes together and been members of the Bashaw Art Club. Allen taught school in Bashaw. They also had a busy framing shop in Ferintosh, where they lived.
Five years ago, Anna and Allen moved to Fort Saskatchewan to be nearer family."
