About Anne V. Buchanan
“At its essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.”
Julia Cameron
I spent 30 years doing research in genetics in the Anthropology Department at Penn State University, but then I began to draw. Although visual art is very different from science in many ways, I find that still both are explorations of truth, each a continuing process of experimenting, discovery, successes, and failures. And each requires a way of looking at details that, with luck, eventually make sense to the viewer. But, while science rejected alchemy long ago, the optical illusion that drawing can be, marks on paper becoming three-dimensional objects, really is a transformation.
I live in Western Massachusetts now. I grew up here, and moved back in 2020, just as our world locked down.
