Anke Schofield

Anke Schofield was born in Ithaca, New York in 1972 and was apprenticed as a professional photographic assistant when she was still at school. Her father introduced her to the wonders of the camera early in life. During high school, she apprenticed with a number of artists in the New York area. She was awarded a scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design where she earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art. Throughout this period, Anke pursued her studies of colour theory and painting, continuing to find in these endeavors greater creative stimulus and inspiration then she had known in her photographic work. "My work is inspired photograhically”, says Anke, "but I take beyond the ordinary representation to create a harmonius blend of texture with composition”. Anke has been working professionally as a fine painter in Atlanta, Georgia for the past five years.

Anke Schofield works in various sizes, pictured samples are of 10" x 10", 15" x15", 15" x 20" individual pieces along with her sets of 4 panels 10" x 60"and 9 blocks 6" x 6"
