Annie Bissett

Annie Bissett, 2015 Deborah and Jay Last Fellow at AAS, has been working primarily with Japanese-style (watercolor) woodblock prints since 2005, when she studied briefly with New England woodblock artist Matt Brown. Annie’s print work builds on her 25+ year career as a freelance digital illustrator, serving a clientele that included Time-Life Publications, National Geographic Society, and the Wall Street Journal. Her prints have been exhibited throughout the US, in the UK, Canada, and Japan. She is on the teaching faculty at Zea Mays Printmaking Studio in Florence, MA, and currently lives and works in Providence, RI. In 2015, Annie led an AAS fellow’s talk during which she shared some of her previous works and then conducted a demonstration in printmaking.
