“I’m not as interested in the realistic representation of what I see as in trying to evoke the heat of the sun, the clarity of the light, or the riot of color – and my feelings about a place. This leads my work towards abstraction that is still grounded firmly in the landscape.”

Freelancing in Bend, Oregon since the mid-90s (previously dba Anne Reitz Graphic Design), I have teamed with various creative partners, agencies, and web developers, or work directly, to tell our clients’ stories around Central Oregon and beyond. My expertise includes concept, collaboration, editing, design, typography, layout, and production of anything from an exhibition catalogue to a landing page, a letterhead to an interpretive panel, an email campaign to a product line sheet, an ad to an annual report.

As senior designer at Gilbert Design in Providence, RI, from the late 80s to mid-90s, Anne designed college and university admissions materials, museum and gallery exhibition catalogs, brochures, posters and invitations, as well as work for a variety of more commercial clients such as a local bank, hospital, vineyard, shops and restaurants.

After graduating from Tufts University with an art history degree, Anne began her career at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts where she was rapidly promoted to director of publications and marketing. For seven years, she wrote, edited, and produced materials such as event calendars, membership and development appeals, course catalogs, invitations, and exhibition brochures and catalogs.
