Ann Bridges
I am a Long Beach artist. I have a MFA from Cal State Long Beach (1997) and maintained a studio on the Promenade then another off of Anaheim and Magnolia. In the early 2000’s I was commissioned by the Long Beach Redeveloment Agency to paint 6 Utility box murals around the city, I’m amazed that most of them are still there. I continued with the utility box work and have another 10 boxes in the Wilshire Center area of Los Angeles. Now I primarily paint plein air and focus on both the urban and natural of environment of Southern California. And I maintain a studio where I teach drawing and painting.
