Anke Schofield
Anke Schofield was born in Ithaca, New York in 1972 and
was apprenticed as a professional photographer assistant
when she was still in the 8th grade. Her father introduced
her to the wonders of the camera early in life. Anke took
to the form readily and with enthusiasm. During high
school, she apprenticed with a number of artists in the
New York area. She was awarded a scholarship to the
Savannah College of Art and Design, where she earned a
bachelor’s degree in fine art. Throughout this period,
Anke pursued her studies of color theory and painting,
continuing to find in these endeavors greater creative
stimulus and inspiration than she had known in her
photographic work.
“My work is inspired photographically”, says Anke, “but I
take it beyond the ordinary representation to create a
harmonious blend of texture with composition”.
Anke has been working professionally as a fine art painter
in Atlanta for the past five years.
