[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Anne Wilkinson began her academic studies at Duke University, where she graduated magna cum laude earning an AB in Botany. Three years later, she returned to school at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where she received an MFA in Studio Art. Wilkinson taught as a visiting artist at the elementary school and university level. Wilkinson painted\u00a0Late Winter on the Loy Farm<\/strong>\u00a0after a brief encounter with the farm\u2019s long-time resident, Leola Loy. The painting focuses on the large Queen Anne style farmhouse, however, after conversing with Loy, Wilkinson learned that the smaller building to the right was the original house and Loy\u2019s birthplace. Wilkinson uses broad brush strokes, light and shadow to depict a crisp, serene winter day on the Loy farm. Wilkinson participated in both solo and group exhibitions in North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and Indiana. Her work was shown in the Weatherspoon Art Museum\u2019s Art on Paper show in 1991 and 1995[\/vc_column_text]
