Ann Aspinwall

  • 2D Arts 2025

Ann Aspinwall (born in New York) employs lines and a few select colors to suggest luminous expanses of water, landscape, and sky. 

The lines, hand-drawn from her imagination, convey the topographical features of the invented terrain, while the colors evoke certain light and atmospheric conditions. Aspinwall works primarily in print mediums because they afford the means of realizing the quality of line and saturation of color that are so essential to her compositions. Her recent exhibition, Ann Aspinwall: Between the Lines, took place at the Museum Wilhelm Morgner in Soest, Germany, in 2024–2025. Aspinwall’s work is in the permanent collections of the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the New York Public Library, and the Yale University Art Gallery. She and her husband, Knut Willich, run Aspinwall Editions, a fine art printing and publishing studio in Hudson, NY.
