"As a gal who wears her heart on her sleeve, I cannot help but create art in the same way. Focusing on the joyful moments in life, I paint images inspired by my beloved adopted pets, nature, dreams, travel, and my daily biographical sketchbooks."
Working out of her Chicago storefront studio, Anne Leuck Feldhaus celebrates life with paint. Her simplified forms, paired with sophisticated compositions and bold color palettes, can best be described as a mix of contemporary folk and urban pop art.
Feldhaus went to art school, focusing in sculpture, but is self-taught in painting, where she retains her childhood aesthetic, surely influenced by many Sunday mornings staring at the stained glass windows in a Catholic church. Her color sense was further developed mixing her own frosting colors while baking cutout cookies with her mother. Many of those colors still make up her palette today.
Anne has exhibited nationally in galleries, at fine art fairs, and on-line. Specializing in custom Dog and Pet Portraits, she is also an illustrator and has licensed her designs for stationery and home decor products. Her work has appeared on expressway billboards (in Kansas & Georgia), neighborhood banners, t-shirts, movies (The Number 23 and The Break Up) and even farm fields (an 11 acre field sculpture). Her work has been featured in publications such as The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Sun-Times, Modern Dog and on programs such as Art Beat Chicago and Animal Planet.
Anne’s works hang in private collections in over 30 U.S. States, as well as internationally. In the Spring of 2009 Anne realized her dream of opening a storefront Art Studio & Gallery in Roscoe Village where she also hosts pet adoption events for local rescue groups.
Anne is strongly committed to using her work to encourage animal adoption and financial support of animal welfare and shelter organizations.
