Anne Zimmerman Briand is an artist from Maine, working from her studio in Florida. She is classically trained, with a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design, and plein air studies in France and Italy.

Anne began her career as a graphic designer in the marketing industry, and then created the iconic map brand Coastline By Anne Zimmerman in 2014 to share her love of the ocean with other coastal enthusiasts.

In 2020, during the Covid19 pandemic, she added fine art back into her focus. She paints outside and from her studio and her adventures and explorations provide the inspiration for her work. She uses a combination of palette knife and brush in oil to capture dreamy, evocative impressions of the landscape. Her paintings offer an escape from the frenetic noise of the world.

Her next adventure will be a road trip painting challenge from Florida to Maine.
