biography and information:

    Professor Anne Beidler has been on the faculty of Agnes
    Scott College since 1992, where she teaches drawing,
    printmaking, painting and book-arts.  

    The focus of her recent studio project, "gardens and
    gateways" is based in the Buddhist sensibility found in poems
    such as those of the Chinese T'ang Dynasty poet, Han-
    shan.   In much the same way that a garden or temple
    gateway invites exploration and evokes ancient places or
    distant memories, her sequential works are like pages or
    visual maps and become gateways to new thoughts and
    images.

    Beidler's early work includes prints, drawings, mixed-media
    paintings and artist books. Her projects include "body/text",
    in which she creates large scale figural drawings and prints
    that examine representation and the body. In "daphne", her
    large mixed media prints explore notions of longing and
    transformation.   Additional works addressing themes of self
    are titled: "obsessing", "night growth" and "the mother".( link
    to early work )

    Beidler has presented lectures on her work as a visiting artist
    and at professional conferences. She has exhibited widely
    both nationally and internationally. Her work is in private and
    public collections including those of Auburn University, the
    Wiregrass Museum in Alabama, the Kennedy Museum of
    Ohio University, and the School of the Art Institute of
    Chicago.
