In Pattern Recognition, Anne M Bray plays with motifs and materials she developed more than thirty years ago. "For the past five years, I’ve been designing prints for an intimate apparel company and this has lead me to reconsider my old pattern-based work." Multiple layerings, fragmentation and interweaving are all themes in both old prints and collages and new digitally derived mashups. "I was surprised to discover how quickly I slipped back into my old methods of working, despite using new technology."

 

Originally from upstate New York, Anne M Bray has lived in Los Angeles County since 1982.

Anne studied painting and printmaking at the College of Creative Studies, at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She received a BFA in Fashion Design from Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles. Her work has been shown in solo and group shows across the country. She has been awarded residencies at Dorland Mountain Arts Colony, The Hambidge Center, Vermont Studio Center, and The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. The City of Beverly Hills has a piece of Anne's included in its collection, as do numerous private collectors.

Anne is currently a member of TAG, The Artists' Gallery, in Santa Monica. She also is a surface designer for Esportia Intl. in Irwindale and an instructor at Otis.
