Ann Litrel
About
I’ve had a working studio for almost thirty years, creating fine art, commercial pieces, and commissions for private and corporate clients across the country.
Painting landscapes and nature close to home is my passion! In the Gallery you can find a wide range of landscapes - paintings of Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, and Cherokee County landmarks like the Sixes Mill, Woodstock Depot, and the Shingle House at Franklin Creighton Gold Mine. Selected images are available as prints - on paper, canvas and even contemporary metal - in the Store.
My newest paintings are part of the "Georgia Natural Wonders" collection. This is an ambitious five year project that has me hiking, kayaking and painting across the state, from mountains to the coast. When the project is formally launched, it will include original art, NTFs, prints, a traveling show (and hardcover book!)

3 questions on inspiration with
Ann Litrel
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
Person
People who have inspired my art have been primarily artist throughout history! The work of Dutch artists Rembrandt, Ver Meer and Van Gogh, Japanese artist Hokusai, and American artists Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth have been enduring sources of inspirations and study. My current series has led me to the beautiful travel paintings of Edward Lear, which he executed in watercolor and pen and ink. Theses little known works are harbored largely in collections found at Harvard and Princeton.
Place
The bucket list of Georgia natural wonders which has inspired my current painting series includes Providence Canyon, known as "Georgia's Llittle Grand Canyon," the Altamaha River, Georgia's own untamed "Amazon," and Amicalola Falls, the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi. This project excites me because many Georgians are unaware of the spectacular natural wonders that exist right in our very own state!
Object
My studio loft in Downtown Woodstock was directly across the street from the old Woodstock train depot. A beautifully designed building with a red-tiled roof, its colors and lines inspired me to create a painting series in the style of four famous artists; I painted the Depot in the styles of Monet, Van Gogh, Hopper and Wyeth, creating a multi-dimensional look at this lovely structure. My clients loved seeing the different interpretations of the Depot, and enjoyed choosing a print of their favorite.
