Anne Lockridge Bialke has had a long and varied career in the visual arts. With a B.A. in art from Moorhead State University Minnesota and an
M. F. A. in illustration from Syracuse University, she has practiced graphic design, photography, printmaking, watercolor and mixed media, illustration, interior residential murals, and theatrical scenery painting---finally landing on oil painting as her preferred and most frequent medium. This love affair has lasted thirty years or so, with landscapes and flowers being her subject matter of choice, with an occasional foray into equine art. 

Anne grew up in northern Minnesota, surrounded by lakes, white birch and towering Norway pines. The big skies of her Midwestern childhood instilled in her a love of clouds---as well as the shimmering light of poplar leaves quaking in the breeze, and the sparkle of sun on snow.  Living in New York's Finger Lakes, with vacation time spent in the deep, dark woods of the Adirondacks, has given her an equal love for the beauty of this gorgeous state. Every bend in the road reveals another surprising vista---and it's a challenge and a joy to try to capture this beauty on the canvas. 

Anne lives on a farm with views of the land rolling up from the east side of Cayuga Lake, delighting in her life with her horses, a llama, a cat, a dog, and her husband Bill, with whom she shares happy memories of their youth in northern Minnesota. Together they help to run Encore Players Community Theatre in Trumansburg, NY. They are the parents of triplet daughters Madeleine, Julia and Audrey Bialke---all artists in their own right. 
Anne's work has been represented by West End Gallery in Corning, NY
​since 1995.
