This event has ended.
Annie Gooding Sykes (1855–1931) was a skilled watercolorist who worked in the impressionist idiom from the 1880s through the 1920s. Part of a group of talented women artists based in Cincinnati, Annie Sykes created immediate and vibrant images of her surroundings, while also painting on travels and vacations. Described as an “indefatigable worker” whose devotion to art was “one of the beautiful things in her eventful life,” she was acclaimed for her jewel-like, light-filled compositions, in which she captured the aesthetic qualities of her subjects through an expressive use of color and form.
