 Anne
Slaughter was born in Brussels, Belgium. She was
educated at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and
at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville,
VA, where, in 1975, she was one of the founders
of the McGuffey Art Center.
She has had over 20 solo and many group exhibitions
in the United States and Europe. She showed her
work for a decade at the Troyer, Fitzpatrick &
Lassman Gallery in Washington DC, and has been included
in curated shows at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Her work has been extensively reviewed, including
several articles in the Washington Post by critic
Ferdinand Protzman and in the Art Section of Southern
Accents magazine. Slaughter's works are in corporate
and private collections across the United States
and Europe. One of her works has recently been acquired
by the University of Virginia Art Museum.
A retrospective of Anne Slaughter's work "TERRA
INCOGNITA" Anne Slaughter, 40 Years was held
in the spring of 2006 at the nationally known non-profit
Second Street Gallery and at Les yeux du Monde Gallery
in Charlottesville, Va. As director of Second Street
Gallery and curator Leah Stoddard wrote, "This
two site exhibition establishes the extraordinary
evolution as well as the breadth and diversity of
Anne Slaughter's artistic production, featuring
nearly 100 mixed media paintings, sculptures, prints
and works on paper, all touching upon the themes
constant in her art - the passage of time, the love
of the natural world and her desire to evoke profound
feeling through evident process and surface materiality.
(Christo's Violin is evocative of the work of the
famous artist Christo, who uses fabric wrapping
in many of his works of art.)
