Painting by Annie Piffel
Opening reception held for the artists 6-9 p.m. April 12.
(Clayton, MO/March 18) Gateway Gallery “Artini” exhibit will feature an intoxicating mix of paintings by Gateway Gallery resident artist Annie Smith Piffel.
An “artist in training” since childhood Annie Smith Piffel spent her Saturday mornings drawing along with Jon Gnagy’s art show. Annie's work in pastels, oils, acrylics and watercolors range from realistically detailed still lifes to vibrant abstracts. While her style is varied she believes that each piece speaks its own language. Annie's work is on permanent display at the Clayton, MO City Hall and included in corporate and private collections, as well as in Canada.
Annie is a mentor to many of the students that have received private art instruction from her or attended her classes at St. Louis Community College. She teaches "The Artist in You" class for SLARC and is a board member for Turner Center for the Arts. Annie also holds classes at her studio in Maplewood where she encourages her students to create, imagine, explore and play. She hopes to ignite their passion and feed their spirit through their own art making process.
