Anne Korn Art & Classes

My work is inspired by the tactile and visual sensation of fibers. I enjoy sewing and beautifully woven cloth and simple, generally overlooked, treasures of nature: seed pods, cat whiskers, horse hair, acorns, dry grasses, feathers, etc. The soul of my work is informed by compassion, goodwill and belief in the unseen. I have three cats – Elmo-James, Yoda and Merlin – who teach me, continually, about quietude and grace.

I grew up in Willamette Valley fields and orchards, spending many happy hours contemplating. There were two early influences in my life which have persisted: My great-aunt, Katherine Stewart, taught me the patient art of traditional quilting at age 9. Under her tutelage I also gained an appreciation for beautifully woven cloth and good craftsmanship. My grandfather, Henry Korn, was a painter. He taught me to draw gesture. We would sit together, watching ballet on television, capturing the quick movements with our pencils.


At age 35 I returned to college, majoring in fine art, specializing in drawing and sculpture. I began to appreciate what I already knew about fibers and design. I realized that if one is lucky, eventually, we find a pathway leading back to our childhood passions and what we know in our heart. While in graduate school I discovered I had an aptitude for teaching. My ability to teach has clarified into a love of helping: extending a guiding hand to those who are willing.
After college I traveled, with my husband. Our journeys through Europe included spending time at the British Museum in special collections, handling and studying Leonardo da Vinci’s original drawings.
