Bio
Anne Storie Willson started in the arts as a potter. She moved into arts administration and worked in the nonprofit sector for over twenty-seven years, leading visual arts organizations in North Carolina and Tennessee. She began the exploration of sculptural weaving and the random weave process in 2010 and maintained a side art practice while still in the nonprofit sector. In 2016, Willson returned to North Carolina and to the studio.
With a focus on communication and information that exists beyond literal translation, Willson’s art is rooted in the natural world. It functions as a marking of wildness and inherent knowledge, both in the environment and in our human selves.
Willson is a studio artist at Anchorlight in Raleigh, NC.
