The most interesting quality of Anne Wienholt's sculpture and drawings is her constant searching for the innocent vision of the unspoilt eye. Through the act of drawing, and drawing quickly so that it is instinctive and not a self-conscious act, Anne Wienholt stalks reality for this elusive quality. It is a difficult pursuit because we are all more or less drowned in stereotyped ideas about what our eyes see and find it impossible to look beyond the verbal boundaries to the mystery of things in space and time. Anne Wienholt's sculpture is the final outcome of this searching. It is sophisticated, private, vulnerable and original.

Anne Wienholt

Born in Leura NSW in 1920. After studying at the East Sydney Technical College under 
William Dobell and Frank Medworth, Anne was awarded the 1944 NSW Travelling Scholarship 
which enabled her to travel to the United States where she arrived on January 1, 1945. 
She studied painting with Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Rufino Tamayo, and printmaking with Stanley
 William Hayter. She has lived in North America, with a period in Kingston, Jamaica, ever 
since, but with frequent travels to Europe and regular visits to Australia. Since 1970 she 
has lived in Marin County, California. She is a sculptor, painter and addicted to drawing.
