Listed above is a vintage lithograph by master folk artist, Ann Reeves, entitled "Belvidere", representing Belvidere, NJ, in Warren County. This complex, 360 degree, magnificent lithograph is signed by Ann and dated 1990. Displaying her love of small towns, Ann depicts every aspect of life and culture that makes Belvidere unique to America and all who live there. No aspect of this quaint town's culture is overlooked, from the steepled church that gathers town folks to worship... to the homes that shelter them...to the celebrations that unify them. No different from all of Ann's work, this is another incredible painting, rich in detail, color, authenticity, and history. With the white border, this lithograph is 24.75 inches high by 19.75 inches wide. The image, itself, measures 21.75 inches high by 16.75 inches wide. It is in pristine condition, unframed, waiting for you to choose the mat and frame that best enhances your environment. It has been stored in acid free tissue and will be shipped in a tube, which is the safest way to protect against damage. Ann Reeves was born in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in Parsippany, N.J. She began to illustrate her own stories at the age of four. Upon graduating from Boonton High School, she received a Certificate of Merit from the Fine Art Galleries of Carnegie Institute. She attended McDowell School of Fashion Design in Manhattan, and worked for a time in the fashion industry. Next came marriage and a family, and Ann dedicated the next thirty years to raising four daughters. Once the girls were grown, Ann was free to pursue her artistic interests. Painting in her much loved folk art style, Ann's artwork has won acclaim from many organizations. Her painting entitled, "Helping Hands", was selected by the Trenton Artist's Workshop to tour Russia in 1990. In 1991, Ann was selected by Warren County, New Jersey for their annual County Pride Award. A regional Fellowship in Painting from Mid-Atlantic National Endowment of the Arts was awarded in 1994. Her oil painting entitled "Berlin Wall Comes Down" has a permanent home in the Deutshes Historishe Museum in Berlin, Germany. The Arts Council of Princeton established the "Ann Reeves Artist-In-Residence Program" in order to annually provide select artists with new works, while providing the community with opportunities for creative interaction with artists in all disciplines. Numerous awards continued. In 1996, Ann was honored to be the first One Artist Show sponsored by Warren County Cultural and Heritage Commission. She was commissioned by the Atlantic City Convention Center Authority to paint the City. On October 20, 2012. Ann Reeves was inducted into the Warren County Hall of Fame. Her work has been seen around the world, from New Jersey to Germany...to cruise ships and beyond. Her unique folk art style is easily identifiable and features many local scenes, such as street scenes of Hackettstown and the Warren County Farmer's Fair. Reeves' love for small towns is the theme of many of her paintings. Ann Says, "Art just comes naturally to me. My art education consists of going to the Hackettstown Public Library and studying art books. Everything I learned, I taught myself."
