Artist Bio:
Anna Kay Singley
Anna Kathryn (A.K.) Singley was a very active sports person, but her favorites of all in life are horses and making “art.” She has had solo shows in small museums throughout South Carolina as well as the South Carolina State Museum and McKissick Museum at USC which attained much success. Anna Kay was an instructor at the Columbia Museum of Arts, USC, Midlands Technical College, and an Artist in Education (A.I.E.) with the South Carolina Arts Commission.
She is a competent juror and popular Springmaid workshop teacher. She has served as president of the South Carolina Watercolor Society and received a Member with Excellence status.
Anna Kay loves the art processes of watercolor, oil, pastel, pencil, gouache, casein, weaving and gourds. She believes the quote by Ed Whitney, “The discipline endured is the mastery achieved.” She loves to learn and has studied with 38 well-known teachers at Springmaid workshops as assistant to them.
