Created in Maine

I am Anne Strout, a professional artist and jewelry maker based in the United States. I make my art in my barn studio in West Falmouth, ME, and ship my unique creations to art lovers nationwide. Please contact me for a tour of the studio or commissioned piece.

Inspiring Hope Amid Adversities

How an artist becomes inspired is complicated. My inspiration often comes from the universal, daily struggles we face, with an emphasis on HOPE.

Forty years in nursing gave me an up-close knowledge of the challenges we all face. It also gave me a deep appreciation for the courage and resilience we need to navigate life. For me, art and nature have provided balance and peace to life’s complexities.

Reinvention; Life/Art

Encaustic and mixed media have helped me with the narratives. I use layers, colors, and embedded found objects to address the issues while celebrating perseverance, reinvention, and second chances.
