Artist Profile: Anne Diggory
Anne Diggory paints out of her studio in Saratoga Springs, New York. She is known for her combination of accurate detail with expressive painting and strong abstract structure—an outgrowth of education at Yale and Indiana University, and many years of exploring and painting the natural world. Her work has been seen in more than 35 solo exhibitions and 75 group exhibitions in the United States, Panama and Germany. Her artwork from the 1980s that conveys the energy of the track, the horse auctions, and the polo field has entered the collections of many trainers, horse owners and collectors. Her recent work is inspired by the nearby Adirondacks in all seasons as well as Alaska, Arizona and California.
In 2014 and 2015 Anne’s hybrid works combining photography and painting were the focus of two solo exhibits—in New York City at the Blue Mountain Gallery and at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York. That work was featured in the Adirondack Explorer, Saratoga Living and the March photography issue of Adirondack Life. Major commissions include an Adirondack scene for the new Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse, New York and several large murals for the Adirondack Trust Company in Saratoga Springs. Public art works include a collaborative commission of art work for the Saratoga Springs Train Station and a large interactive artwork series for the Albany Institute of History and Art. In 2016 a painting was selected to be displayed at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Swaziland.
