“The Garden of Inspiration”

“The Garden of Inspiration”

Works by Anna Shorey

“My paintings are executed in a style akin to contemporary realism, infused with elements of Impressionism. Soft, fluid color transitions and blurred backgrounds—hallmarks of watercolor or pastel techniques characterize my work. These techniques place a strong emphasis on capturing light, volume, and the delicate softness of petals, while simultaneously demanding a high degree of detail and naturalism. Such pieces are ideally suited for interior décor. I enjoy embedding a hidden message within my paintings, for in every culture, the specific type of flower—as well as its quantity and color—has historically carried a distinct and special significance.”

 

This exhibition will be on display June 5-26, 2026.

EMILY CRANK

Hello, my name is Emily Crank and I am a student at Bradley University. I am currently working towards the goal of double majoring in Art History and History with a minor in Museum studies and Women and Gender studies. My plan is to pursue local history and Gallery exhibition work with a community focus when I graduate. I love art and working on projects that explore the history of the Peoria area, and I am very excited to be working with Arts Partners towards these goals. I look forward to serving the community and furthering the reach of Arts Partners throughout the summer.
